There is a rich reference to the decorative arts of the Meiji period on this calm persimmon-glazed jar by Inoue Haruo(1910-1975).

After that the list is quite long and three times his works were presented to the emperor. This jar has a noble form, fine glazing and a quaint-simple drawing of a pear on the front.
