Description

 

This plate is one of the six in the "Art Styles of the Past" series. It showcases the unique design of Kutani ware in the Mokubei style.

The Mokubei style is one of the traditional patterns representing Kutani ware, created under the guidance of Aoki Mokubei, a potter from Kyoto. It aimed to revive Kutani ware approximately 100 years after production had ceased. The entire surface is painted red, depicting people and other objects in Kutani gosai—the five colors (green, yellow, purple, navy, and red).

In the central circular frame, Tang children with Chinese-style hairstyles and clothing are depicted playing. This is an iconic design of the Mokubei style. The way the children enjoy their lives in a carefree manner has an appealing charm that gives peace of mind to those who see it. The floral pattern on the rim also adds calmness and sophistication.

The plate comes with a stand, allowing it to be displayed on a shelf or table. It is also suitable for use at special occasions.

Packaged in a wooden box, this plate makes an ideal gift for those who appreciate traditional crafts and interior décor.

Mokubei

Approximately 100 years after the close of the ko-Kutani kilns, a large group of Kutani ware kilns collaborated to revive its legacy. The style that emerged during this period is called Revived Kutani, with Mokubei being one of the notable styles.

Guided by the Kyoto painter Aoki Mokubei, this style is characterized by the use of calming red pigments for its base. Pieces often depict people, many including children, on a vibrant background, creating a harmonious and adorned design.
