Description
Description: Meiji Period, Satsuma porcelain from Japan
History: The first major presentation of Japanese arts and culture to the West was at Paris’ Exposition Universelle in 1867, and Satsuma ware figured prominently among the items displayed. Eager to tap into the burgeoning foreign market, producers adapted the nishikide Satsuma model. The resulting export style demonstrated an aesthetic thought to reflect foreign tastes. Items were decorated in the nuri-tsuboshi ('packed flower') style to the point of horror vacui with "'quaint'… symbols such as pagodas, folding fans, or kimono clad [females]."[27] Pieces continued to feature floral and bird (??? kachoga) designs, but religious, mythological, landscape and genre scenes also increased. There was new interest in producing decorative pieces (?? okimono), such as figurines of beautiful women (?? bijin), animals, children and religious subjects.[28] The palette darkened and there was generous application of moriage (????) raised gold.[29] The first major presentation of Japanese arts and culture to the West was at Paris’ Exposition Universelle in 1867, and Satsuma ware figured prominently among the items displayed Eager to tap into the burgeoning foreign market, producers adapted the nishikide Satsuma model.
