If you have any interest in Asian (mostly Japanese)
antiques, you might want to check out Kyoto Art and Antiques, which is open to the public through Oct. 5 for its warehouse
sale in Georgetown. These semi-annual sales last for only about 10 days each. Although
I’m generally not an antique shopper, I’ve had something specific in mind for a
while. When I went to Kyoto Art’s sale last spring, I saw lots of interesting
antiques, but not quite what I was looking for.
Today I spotted this large devil-like stone sculpture dated
1773 (with a price tag of $510). As I sketched it, I had one of the strangest
public sketching encounters yet. A man took out his phone and said, “Would you
like me to take a photo of it for you?” assuming that I was sketching it
because I had no camera!
No, I didn’t buy the devil. But I did find what I was looking for! And yes – it’s sketching-related! All
will be revealed soon. (Don’t you love cliffhangers?)
