Japanese Contemporary Purple Pink Gray Porcelain Charger by Master Artist, 3
About the Item
Exceptional contemporary Japanese museum quality signed porcelain charger, stunningly hand painted in mesmerizing shades of the artist's signature purple, pink and gray on a beautiful rectangular shape body, with a unique interpretation of the rhinoceros. This highly celebrated award-winning master artist has drawn on various animals featured in Buddhist scriptures and religious practice to make his lifework the re-creation of a “Buddhist menagerie.” This piece is inspired by the Rhinoceros Sutra, a very early Buddhist text that extols the virtues of solitary and ascetic life as exemplified by the rhinoceros.
Depicted in this piece are two single-horned Indian rhinoceroses with thickly folded skin that gives them the exaggerated armored appearance. The stubby legs and wart-like bumps that cover the bodies are also characteristic features of this species. In the artist’s rendition, the rhinoceroses look with humanlike eyes that convey an eerie sense of self-awareness.
Having started his career in the venerable tradition of old Kutani porcelain, the artist faithfully draws on at least one of the prime Kutani colors of yellow, green, red, blue and purple in each of his work. The artist's profile is available upon request.
This exquisite large hand painted porcelain charger comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist.
Dimensions: W 24 in D 10.5 in H 2 in.
A few lines from the first part of the Rhinoceros Sutra (Khaggavisana Sutta) follow.
Renouncing violence for all living beings, harming not even a one. Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
In society, there are allurements, and on the heel of allurements, pain… Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
Like a bamboo sprout be un-entangled. Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
As a deer in the wilds, unfettered, forages wherever it wants, the wise person values freedom.
Wander alone like a rhinoceros.
(Adopted from translation from Pali by Thanissaro Bhikku).
