6 prints; all signed, titled and numbered on face of the prints. Measure 15&#34; x 10.5&#34;

The &#34;Hokusai Design Contemporary Prints&#34; portfolio is a rare, collaborative art project originally published in 1987 by the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints. It features a unique reinterpretation of Katsushika Hokusai’s design patterns by three of Japan’s most influential graphic designers—Katsumi Asaba, Koichi Sato, and Shin Matsunaga  in a hard bound linen covered portfolio case.

The original set included 7 prints. There are only 6 in this set. (A 7th &#39;Cube&#39; by Shin Matsunaga was lost.)

They are free of fading, foxing, stains, tears, watermarks. All ready for framing. 

Katsushika Hokusai was a genious ukiyo-e artist who brought numerous masterpieces into the world. He also drew designs for fine-patterned dyeing, which were compiled in a book entitled &#34;Hokusai Moyo Gafu (Hokusai Design Sketchbook).&#34; In 1986, the woodblocks used to print &#34;Hokusai Moyo Gafu&#34; were discovered in storage at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in the United States. The old woodblocks were returned to Japan and used to make new prints by artisans at the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints who have mastered traditional woodcut printing techniques.

When &#34;Hokusai Moyo Gafu&#34; was released nearly 150 years after its first publication, Hokusai&#39;s modern and ingenious designs became the focus of public attention once again and stimulated the imagination of contemporary creators.

In 1987, the Adachi Institute of Woodcut Prints invited three top Japanese designers who resonated with Hokusai&#39;s sensibilities to join in a project called &#34;Hokusai Design Contemporary Prints from Hokusai Design Sketchbook&#34;. This offering is the result. Katsumi Asaba, Koichi Sato and Shin Matsunaga recomposed the patterns included in &#34;Hokusai Moyo Gafu&#34; to create a &#39;new&#39; world of woodcut prints.

Titles of Each Design
> Katsumi Asaba: &#34;Colored Glasses of Hokusai I・II&#34;
> Koichi Sato: &#34;Dice/Yakkosan&#34;
> Shin Matsunaga:　&#34;DEEP SEA/MOON&#34;

This is the dress princess dreams are made of!
Absolutely exquisite Catherine Regehr of Vancouver custom made red satin floor length gown.
Impeccably tailored, as one would expect from a Catherine Regehr dress.
Catherine was the designer to the stars and ultra wealthy in the &#39;80&#39;s and &#39;90&#39;s. Her eponymous company continues to this day and is now helmed by her daughter but Catherine is still involved.
Their dresses typically range in the 2000-5,000 range.
This dress is made for a small waisted woman (with long legs :) so check measurements carefully.
Fully lined, bustle has several layers of netting.

You can obviously wear the dress without the additional bustle (as the hooks are inside the dress&#39;s belt and not visible to anyone staring at this exquisite gown!).
No condition issues whatsoever.
No stains, marks, repairs, loose or missing elements.

Measures as follows:
Top Front to Waist: 11&#34;
Across Waist (lying flat): 13&#34;
Pin tuck Bow to Hem: 31&#34;
Length of Back Zipper: 10&#34;
Length of Additional Sash: 62&#34; (not exactly sure where this is meant to be worn so I have shown an &#39;option&#39; in the photos, with it wrapped around the waist.)
As a prom, formal bridesmaid, fancy Christmas gala dress, it is incomparable.

A 3 item lot of Pacific Northwest Native art items.
1) An older Salish woven cedar basketry tray with handles and imbrication. Measures 13.5&#34; in diameter.In good condition with one 1.5&#34; section along the rim of missing cedar wrap. Other than this no issues noted. 

2) A small Native portrait mask by Coast Salish artist Artie George. Measures 5&#34; x 3.75&#34;. Finely carved and with a lovely patina. Mask has a leather, feather and bead element dangling from the left side. Artie George, great nephew of Chief Dan George, is a Coast Salish woodcarver. Born in North Vancouver in 1970, he is from the Tsleil-Waututh Nation (Burrard Band). Artie began carving at the age of 13 and is mainly self-taught. The relentless dedication that he brings to his art and the quiet grace which accompanies that dedication has awarded Artie respect from his peers as a carver of fine detail.His art can be found in collections around the world such as the world famous Glenbow Museum in Calgary, the UBC museum of Anthropology and the Smithsonian Native American Museum in Washington D.C.

3) The third item is a cedar carving of a Spirit Bear with Salmon. Dated on back, 1982. It is signed with the surname &#39;Joseph&#39; but am not sure of the first name initial. (The Joseph family are well respected as carvers within the Squamish Nation. Stan Joseph for example  he carved a 60-foot pole for Sea Span in 1980 and another for the Chief Joe Matthias Centre as well as the welcome figure that now stands on the West Vancouver Pier. The first initial looks like a &#39;J&#39; which means this could possibly be the work of Jimmy Joseph, a member of the Alert Bay Kwakiutl Nation.) Measures 13&#34; x 7&#34; x 2.5&#34;.

Vintage landscape oil painting. Framed. Signed in lower left &#39;Vivian Walker&#39;. No date. Title; 
Trout River. 9&#34; x 12&#34; . 

Vivian Walker (1903-1972) studied Art at Sir Williams College of Art, Montreal, Quebec. She had several successful Exhibitions between 1943 and 1962. She had 4 paintings at the Canadian Exhibition in Washington D.C. in 1954. Which were very well received with positive accounts in the press. She was Honorary Treasurer of the Woman’s Art Society of Montreal.

This Impressionist riverside scene was most likely done in and around the Laurentians, north of Montreal. Her strong use of colour gives this piece a lyrical and evocative quality, often associated with 19th century French works, while maintaining a distinctive North American flavour. There is some damage to the back-as shown-but the front is just fine.

Two Liuli Gongfang figurines on offer. The company Liuli Gongfang (also known as Liuli Crystal Art) was founded in Taiwan in 1987 to revive the ancient Chinese art of lost wax glass casting (&#39;liuli&#39;) or pate de verre. Their sculptures are now sold in 35 museums globally including the Victoria and Albert in London and the Palace Museum in Beijing. 
The larger of the two sculptures offered here is an amber coloured horse head with intricate scroll details and curled mane. Signature and etched script on base read Chinese characters plus 2002 116/800. I believe this to mean that this sculpture date stopped 2002 and that it is number 116 from a limited edition of 800. Measures 6&#34; x 4.5&#34;
The second sculpture is a purple and clear &#39;Flying Pegasus&#39; sculpture. No etched markings on the base. Little Young Pegasus flies above the clouds, and its forehead and the body are covered with peony blossoms. It symbolizes auspiciousness and wealth and walking on the cloud represents auspiciousness and promise. Measures 4.5&#34; x 4.1&#34; x 2.5&#34;.

Robert was born in Santa Ana, California. His initial focus was in painting, and then in ceramics. While pursuing a Master of Fine Arts degree, he was awarded the prestigious &#34;Glen Lukins Award&#34;. After graduating, he became Head of Ceramics at the Sheridan School of Design in Oakville, Ontario. During a workshop on glassblowing, Robert discovered his true passion. He realized that the rich colours developed on canvas and the classic forms derived from the pottery could be intertwined into hot glass. This new form developed Canada&#39;s modern glass arts movement. Robert operated his studio, Robert Held Art Glass, in Vancouver until his semiretirement. He then moved to Parksville on Vancouver Island where he opened a much smaller shop with only 2 staff- he couldn’t leave glass- his love, all together. This shop closed in 2024 so his work is becoming increasingly scarce.

Vintage Chinese Ancestor Portrait Scroll

This is exactly as I purchased it, at an estate sale in Palo Alto California. I have made no alterations to it.

As it is exactly as purchased I have no way of knowing if teh porcelain ends are original.

Has the scroll been remounted? Are the porcelain roller ends original?

The painted surface does have some creases, not on the figure itself but in the pale yellow area surrounding the head and on the brownish floor detail region below the feet. I do not see any tears. Hope this helps!

The silk looks heavily creased. Is the painted surface creased or damaged, or only the mounting silk? Any tears in the folds?

No documentation. Scroll only. Purchased at an estate sale in Palo Alto, California.

Where did this scroll come from, and what makes it Qing dynasty style? Any documentation?

No I cannot transcribe the calligraphy and seals. I am not Asian. I have no idea who the person is in this portrait. It was purchased at an estate sale in Palo Alto California.

Could you transcribe the calligraphy and red seals at the top right? Who is the person in the portrait?
