About the Item

An impressive and large Japanese Imari bowl with a golden spotted hare or rabbit, early Meiji Period (1864 to 1912), mid 19th century, Japan The fantastic Imari bowl featuring a central design of a hare with golden spots upon a geometric ground. Clouds surround the hunched rabbit, the golden patches mimicking the shape of the clouds and standing out brightly against its white fur, catching and playing with the light beautifully. Both the interior and exterior of the body decorated with large golden chrysanthemums blossoms and scrolling vines and leaves on an iron red ground in the kinrande style. The interior and exterior featuring a border with repeating alternating floral cartouches against a "shippo" (seven treasures) geometric patterned ground. The rim originally fully gilt, now mostly rubbed away. The underside with a four character "Fuki Chosen" (Good Fortune and Long Life) mark in underglaze blue. The hare in the center of the bowl may represent the Hare of Inaba, who is a symbol of Japan turning from barbarism to civilization.
