Description
Antique Kutani Hand Painted Japanese Turtle & Crane Porcelain Plate, signed on the back. "Tsuru Sen-nen, Kame Man-nen" (As the Crane one thousand years, the Tortoise ten thousand years), is an old Japanese saying describing the symbols of youth and old age (long life), the Tsuru (crane) and Kame (tortoise). In Japan, every element of the natural world has a sacred side for Shinto, and the religion promotes harmony between the divine, humans, and nature. A lofty tree, a towering waterfall, or a wondrous mountain were believed to possess kami and were made objects of worship, and the sea was recognized as the source of life. Our plate is full of traditional Japanese symbols all beautifully represented in the hand painted plate. With stand. Plate 8.25x8.25x1. Wt. 1 pd. 3 oz. PROVENANCE: A Private Tokyo Japan / Charleston Estate.
