Japanese Lacquer Maki-e Plate of Masked Dancer

About the Item

A large circular plate with a short stem base in Vermillion lacquer color from Late Meiji Period circa end of 19th century to early 20th century. The surface was decorated with a fine maki-e picture that depicts a masked dancer in motion. The figure in the midst of motion dons an elaborate and luxuriant costume with wide sleeves and a tall hat. One hand holds a fan the other a clustered bell instrument. The masked dancer is most likely performing Bugaku, a clandestine dance reserved exclusively for entertaining the court, accompanied by Gagaku (Elegant Music). The gold Maki-e decoration is well composed. The motion of the figure is lively. Great details were carried out in creating his elaborate costumes, especially the fan. Hiramakie-e, fundame and raden shell inlays were all used to their maximal potential to create the fine details and rich surface texture. It was not made to be used apparently but a pure decorative piece, likely for the luxury export market. With all the rims in gold fundame, the base of the dish also features a fine rendition of a pine branch. A beautiful example of late Meiji lacquer art. Reference: The dancing actor on the lacquer bowl closely resembles a painting by Sasayama Yoi (died in 1743), now in the collection of Cincinnati Art Musuem. Accession No:1906.14.
