This is a beautiful Japanese plate from the Taisho period (1920s), decorated in Yokohama by one of the leading studios of the time. The decoration (mostly red, pink, black, light blue and gold) shows various musical instruments (sho, tsuzumi, taiko, koto . . .) used in "gagaku", the traditional Japanese court music dating back to the eighth century.
The plate is 18.5 cm in diameter and in perfect condition (apart from a tiny bit of rubbing on the gold). The reverse shows four golden orchids and bears the mark "Nippon Yokohama Imura zo" in Japanese characters. |
