Japanese Meiji Period Satsuma Vase Painted by Ryozan for the Yasuda Company
Located in Newark, England
The vase of slightly bulbous form potted with a tapered body reaching a slightly pinched neck and rolled top rim is beautifully decorated with two large scenes. The first scene features a mountainous region with a river flowing through the centre with beautiful wash colours of green. A Bamboo plant can be seen hanging over the left of the scene with two Geishas walking amongst the flowers with children running around them. Further Geishas can be seen to the far right of the vase in front of a traditional Japanese building. The second scene an upstream version of the first with spectacular pink cherry blossom amongst a central river breaking the land in two with further figures with children. The scenes bordered by a strip gilt border featuring alternating images two depicting a Minogame. The shoulder of the vase is beautifully finished with complex rings of geometric scrolling borders with shades of teal, butterflies and one hundred treasures style decoration above gilt cartouches of the imperial style Kiku (chrysanthemum). The vase is signed to the base Dai Nippon, Kyoto Tojiki, Goshi Kaisha, Okamoto Ryozan 京都陶, 磁器合, 資会社,岡曰本亮山 with the Yasuda Company Mark (Yasuda Kyoto Tojiki Goshikaisha) which translates as the Yoshida Kyoto Ceramic Joint Stock Company and dates to the Meiji Period (1868-1912) circa 1900.
Yasuda Company was founded in 1896 by Gensei and Yoshizaburo Yasida two brothers from Kyoto. The companies full name is Yasuda Kyoto Tojiki Goshikaisha which translates to Yoshida Kyoto Ceramic Joint Stock Company. They were a manufacturer and dealership based in Kyoto and active during the second half of the Japanese Meiji-era specialising in decorative works including Cloisonne and Ceramics, today they are best-known for their Satsuma pottery wares. The company gained a good reputation and great respect for their high quality works which were executed by some of the best artists of their time. As well as Okamoto Ryozan, they worked with celebrated artists such as Sozan, Kizan, Hozan and Seikozan.
Ryozan was born Nakamura Tatsunosuke and was trained by the legendary 10th generation potter Nishimura Zengoro who himself, used the artist’s name “Ryozan”. After Nishimura’s death in 1851, Nakamura Tatsunosuke adopted the name “Okatomo Ryozan” in order to pay tribute to and honour his master. Ryozan went on to become the Head Artist at the Yasuda Company of Kyoto where he confirmed his reputation as one of the great Satsuma artists of the generation.
Minogame 蓑亀 are long-lived turtles with long strands of algae growing from their shells. The algae drapes down from their shells and resembles a farmer’s straw raincoat (mino) from which they get their name. They are considered very auspicious creatures throughout East Asia. The long algae on their backs is reminiscent of the long beards of sages and wise men. Because of this and their long life span, they are a symbol of long life and prosperity and appear frequently in paintings, sculpture in Japanese culture. The minogame is a symbol of longevity and happiness and has an important role in the well-known legend of Urashima Taro...

Large Japanese Imari Gilt Charger, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, Japan
Located in Austin, TX
A bold and unusual large 18.5" diameter Japanese gilt ground Imari porcelain charger featuring the Rokkasen, the Six Immortal Poets, Meiji Period, circa 1900, Japan.
The impressive charger features a striking image of the Six Immortal Poets, known as the Rakkasen, seated in fenced pavilion within a lush garden setting and surrounded by numerous books and scrolls. Gnarled pine trees and and branches laden with plum blossoms tower overhead, while chrysanthemum and massive peonies bloom among rocky outcrops.
The scene is unexpectedly and masterfully executed as if on a byobu, a traditional Japanese six panel folding screen. The screen is opened in a dramatic manner, slightly akimbo, almost jumping off the dish, reminiscent of the "screens within screens" genre that developed during the Edo Period. Despite the folds and changes in perspective, the painting remains harmonious and lyrical, with the fully gilt ground adding a sense of warmth and sumptuousness.
The screen is bordered with a geometric bands in the shippo pattern. The shippo pattern features interlocking circles, and symbolizes the Seven Treasures. The shippo pattern on a larger scale serves at the background fo the rest of the charger.
The backside of the charger decorated with two bands with underglaze blue designs. The reserve decorated with scattered stylized blossoms in iron red and gilt.
The Rakkasen, known in English as the Six Immortal Poets, are a group of 9th century Heian Period waka poets whose works were included and praised by name in an anthology of poetry collected by the courtier, poet, and writer, Ki no Tsurayuki. Waka poems are a strict five line...

Bonham’s Footnotes:
In the Vidhura-Pandita Jataka, the bodhisattva that will later become Gautama Buddha perfects the virtue of truthfulness (sacca), at once a keen perception of the true reality of things and an unwavering commitment to imparting this truth. Reborn as a renowned advisor to a virtuous king, the bodhisattva uses undivided speech throughout the story—even when it puts him in harm's way—thereby preventing disputes among rulers, offering amnesty, and ultimately saving the antagonists who initially conspired to kill him.
Burmese Silver Ceremonial Offering Bowls were produced in great numbers, the finely decorated ceremonial offering bowl is the quintessential Burmese silver artwork...

Anklets were important components in a suite of jewels worn by women in India. These very heavy examples are fabricated in two pieces, and tightly secured with a near-invisible pin. Some legends suggest that heavy anklets like these could weigh up to 20 pounds and were used to prevent brides from running away from their new families.
How it is made: "Dhokra is an ancient folk art tradition prevalent in India in the eastern states of West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. Dhokra craft objects are made through the process of non-ferrous metal casting using the lost-wax casting technique, which is one of the earliest and most advanced methods of metal casting known to human civilization. Its roots can be traced back 4500 years to the ancient city of Mohenjodaro in the Indus Valley Civilization. The name Dokra or Dhokra was used to indicate a group of craftsmen of nomadic type from the Dhokra Damar tribe, scattered over the regions of Bengal, Orisa and Madhya Pradash, whose wares were identified by their beautifully shaped and decorated metal products. The enchanting Dhokra art objects have motifs inspired by indigenous folk...
