* Japanese Edo Period Kraak
The Japanese 17th-century Edo period Kraak-style dish is a fascinating example of cultural exchange and artistic adaptation. The term "Kraak" refers to a style of blue-and-white porcelain originally produced in China during the late Ming dynasty and exported to Europe, where it became highly prized. Japanese potters, particularly those in Arita, began to produce their own interpretations of this style during the Edo period (1603-1868), especially in the mid-to-late 17th century.
Kraak-style dishes from Japan typically feature a central medallion with a floral, animal, or landscape motif, surrounded by panels or compartments with similar decorations. The designs often include traditional Japanese elements such as chrysanthemums, cranes, and other symbols of good fortune. The blue underglaze painting on these dishes closely mimics the Chinese Kraak style, but with distinctive Japanese artistic flair and techniques.
These dishes were not only popular domestically but were also exported to Europe, where they continued to satisfy the Western demand for blue-and-white porcelain. Japanese Kraak-style dishes are valued today for their beauty and as symbols of the global trade networks of the 17th century.
* "shou"
The Chinese character "shou" symbolizes longevity and is deeply rooted in Chinese culture. It is commonly found in art, literature, and decorative items, representing the wish for a long, prosperous life. The character is often used in celebrations such as birthdays and New Year's, and it is associated with the Five Blessings: longevity, wealth, health, love of virtue, and a peaceful death. In the context of the dish, "shou" embodies a desire for enduring happiness and good fortune for the owner.
