Large Rare Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Panel

Large Rare Japanese Satsuma Porcelain Panel.

As part of our Japanese works of art collection we are delighted to offer this rare Meiji Period (1868-1912) porcelain panel, unusually painted by a Satsuma artist working at the Rotakudo studio in Tokyo. The large scale porcelain panel has been painstakingly painted in exquisite detail to portray a bustling waterside landscape scene of adults and children in various pursuits during what is likely a festival or holiday. One charming scene sees a bijin being assisted across some stepping stones with the aid of her parasol, another sees a young lad clutching a bamboo fishing rod proudly showing off his latest catch, meanwhile various pursuits are taking place in the numerous pavillions and pagodas that rise up against a mountainous backdrop. This fascinating panel is studio signed and bears the artists inscription in ink to the rear.

Literature :

The signature seal reads "Tokyo Kyobshi, Rotakudo zo" [Made by Rotakudo Studio, of the Kyobash district, Tokyo].
