Pretty Banko Yaki Kogo Hanakuidori by Kaga Zuizan

The size of Kogo: 2 1/4" L x 1 5/8" W x 1 3/4" H. Very pretty Japanese Banko Yaki Kogo. Kogo is made by artist Kaga Zuizan who make Banko Yaki which is made by earthen ware. The form of Kogo is the design of Hanakuidori which I have listed information separately. It is beautifully detail and the contrast of yellow and greeen is wonderful. The detail work of bird feather are nicely done. It is marked Zuizan on the back of Kogo. It came with yellow cottom cloth sealed of zuizan. The Kiri(paulownia) wood tomobako cover said, Hanakuidori Kogo, Kaga Zuizan(lower left) sealed. The condition of Kogo excellent, no chip, no crack and no hairline. Dating from 1960-70's.

Hanakuidori
A pattern that features flying birds grasping flowers or small branches in their beaks. The design may feature phoenixes, mandarin ducks, or cranes. Originally this was a Persian motif of flying phoenixes with ribbons, frequently seen in Byzantine art, which was transmitted through China to Japan. Thus, variations include flying birds with ribbon (ganjuchoumon). The earliest examples in Japan can be found in the treasures in *Shousouin (7-8c), Nara, but during the Heian period, this motif became a characteristic Japanese theme associated with good fortune called matsukuizurumon meaning 'crane with pine branches'.

Banko Yaki
Ko Banko was established by Nunami Rozan(1718-1777) in Edo Era in Yokkaichi city area. Later he opened his kiln at Edo during Horeki Period(1751-1760). Original Ko Banko style are came from Kenzan in Kyoto, but Rozan developed the style of his own. Today, Banko Yaki is coming back.
