《Dish, decorated with chrysanthemum and water stream design in overglaze enamels》

Edo period, 1660-70  Porcelain

The chrysanthemums arranged in an arc, the barley leaves curling on the inside, and the water flowing in from the right form a unique pattern and present a rhythmical atmosphere that corresponds to the shape of the dish. The Kakiemon style, which excels in colorful overglaze painting on a white ground, materialized at the beginning of the Edo period. This dish dates from the initial stage and is notable for its high degree of perfection.
