Izumo ware with Inlaid Chrysanthemum Design

Izumo ware is a collective term for Rakuzan ware and Fujina ware, and mainly produced tea ware.
Matsudaira Fumai, the seventh lord of the Matsue domain, was involved in the founding of the kilns, and potters for Rakuzan ware inspired by Hagi ware, while potters for Fujina ware were inspired by Rakuzan ware.
As a result of this influence, Rakuzan ware in particular is modeled after Korean tea bowls.
Like Mishima bowls from the Goryeo and Joseon dynasties, this piece is decorated with patterns using inlaid techniques.
A large chrysanthemum design is featured in the center of the front face, surrounded by numerous other chrysanthemum designs, and beaded and leaf designs are painted on the outside.
The foot is a bamboo-jointed foot like a Goryeo tea bowl, and there is a navel-like protrusion within the foot.
Traces of re-firing remain on the foot and inside.
The inlay patterns and the shape of the foot show a considerable influence from Korean ceramics.
