About the Item
Extraordinary Japanese contemporary highly collectible museum quality highly detailed, extremely intricately hand painted porcelain vase in blue, red and platinum, showcasing the four auspicious creatures of Chinese mythology said to be the guardians of the four points of the compass. The vase is the joint creation of two brothers working in tandem in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan.
This dramatic piece is inspired by the murals of the Kitora Tumulus, a 7th century burial mound unearthed in central Japan in recent years. Appearing on its murals in colorful detail are the four guardian creatures of ancient Chinese mythology. As recreated on the vase, these are the white tiger (guardian of the west), the blue dragon (east), the Vermillion phoenix (south), and black turtle (north). The turtle, symbolizing long life, is shown entwined with a snake, representing fertility and the life force.
The two brothers who worked together to create this vase follow a strict division of labor. The older brother is responsible for depicting the fauna and flora, while the younger brother works exclusively on the background and on creating the intricate geometric patterns that grace the neck and base of the vase. The signatures of both brothers appear on the reverse.
This outstanding vase comes in a custom made wooden case signed by both artists.

Large Japanese Blue and White Vase by Mazuku Kozan Meiji Period

With a relative large size, this vase is decorated with underglaze cobalt blue using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting), in order to achieve the striking dimensional misty winter landscape. The pine trees with upright trunks and down-sweeping branches appear receding into the depth of the mist, forming an visually unending forest. Known as one of the most creative ceramists, around 1880s, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze. New colors allowed him to create underglaze design that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. He even invented his own receipt of cobalt blue to achieve a much brighter yet softer shade, as evident on this vase.
