    • KOICHIRO KONDO (JAPANESE 1884-1962) TWO HORSES
      May. 13, 2022

      KOICHIRO KONDO (JAPANESE 1884-1962) TWO HORSES

      Est: £300 - £500

      KOICHIRO KONDO (JAPANESE 1884-1962) TWO HORSES 近藤浩一路 雙駿圖 紙本水墨 ink on paper, depicting two horses in a field, signed and sealed lower right, mounted on paper (44.4cm x 52.3cm) Qty: (1) Provenance: Old collection of the late David C Symon, thence by descent David C Symon, a Scottish diplomat, raised in Edinburgh, studied at Oxford University, was posted to Japan in 1949-1955 under a scheme by the British Foreign Office following The Second World War. Five young men were sent, Hugh Cortazzi, Sydney Giffard (both to become British Ambassadors to Japan), David Symon, Dick Ellingworth and another. Mr Symon was appointed to the Imperial Court as the British liaison for the then Crown Prince Akihito to prepare him and accompany the Crown Prince to Britain for the Queen’s Coronation in 1953. The visit lasted nearly a month. The photograph illustrated here shows the two of them walking the day before the coronation, through St James’s Park in London. Mr Symon remained close to the Crown Prince and on the Emperor’s last visit to Britain a few years ago, the Emperor asked at the Foreign Office how the “family of my dear friend, David Symon” were doing as he “still missed him”. Mr Symon and his family arrived again in Tokyo in 1962 for a long tour of duty but sadly Mr Symon passed away in 1964 in Tokyo and the family returned to the UK.
