Nabeshima ware is porcelain produced at Okochiyama, the official kiln of the Hizen Nabeshima domain.
Among them, Ainabeshima is a type of dyeing, and it uses only one color of indigo to create beautiful shades.
The illustrations drawn on the surface of the vessel are called Rokaku-sansuimon, and are typical subjects for ceramics and Japanese paintings.
Draw a landscape pattern that includes a tall house, a hazy mountain in the distance, nearby hills, trees, etc.
The square plates with this theme were produced over a long period until the end of the Edo period, with the patterns and shading gradually changing.
The tower in the foreground is drawn with very thin lines, the joists under the floor and the floor bundles are firmly three-dimensional, and the roof crest is carefully drawn without shifting between the foreground and the back.
A peony pattern is drawn on the back corner, with 26 leaves expressed in shades of light and shade, with a large peony flower in the center and a small peony flower at the tip beautifully expressed in pale colors.
The line of the stem is very thin, and the buds at the tip are drawn in two different designs, one on the left and one on the left.
On the side of the bottom, carefully draw countless vertical stripes at equal intervals.
The pottery is made slightly thicker and firmer, and the corners are sharply carved.
This item is from the Edo period, 1855-1860.
