Description: Vintage Japanese ARITA RINPA KO-IMARI Porcelain Large 12" Plate Made by SHOBIDO-HONTEN CO. KISEN Brand In Wooden Box.* This gorgeous Arita Rinpa Ko-Imari Porcelain Plate was given to men Japan in 1999. I have proudly displayed it, but now I need to downsize and find a new person to treasure it. The 12" diameter plate is also functional as a beautiful serving plate/platter. The company recommends hand washing and it is not for use in the oven or microwave. Here is a history of this porcelain: Arita porcelain from Saga Prefecture, Japan is often considered to have the oldest tradition in Japan. Arita porcelain was often exported to Europe through the port at Imari—and the port gave its name to this style of Japanese porcelain in the West. Today the term “ko-imari” (literally “old imari”) refers to the motifs that decorated Arita porcelain at the time. The ko-imari style took its inspiration from Chinese motifs popular at the end of the Ming period and beginning of the Qing period, with the addition of an even more decorative aspect incorporating elements that were typically Japanese. The beautiful decoration on this plate was inspired by the Rinpa pictorial style of Ogata Korin (who lived 1658-1716). This plate is still for sale on the Shobido Honten's website for $375. Product size: diameter 39 cm x height 6 cm (diameter 12 inches) Product code: S-3069 The elegant style and beauty based on the Japanese spirit is reflected.
