|a The Japanese potter Saneyuki Hirota (b. 1947) created this impressive ceramic work on the occasion of the 2001 Japan Festival in the UK. Using traditional kinrande (gold pigments used as polychrome porcelain colouring) techniques, the artist embellished the entire surface with motifs symbolising Anglo-Japanese political and cultural relations. At the top and bottom of the outer edge of the dish are motifs inspired by medals of honour that were presented by Queen Victoria to the Japanese Prime Minister, Masayoshi Matsukata (1835-1924) in 1896. Auspicious East Asian motifs of pine, bamboo, and plum are accented in gold pigment and juxtaposed with dragons, here a symbol of the British Empire. The central motif of a warrior’s helmet represents Shimazu Yoshihiro, a powerful daimyo (military chieftain) of the Satsuma Clan (now Kagoshima prefecture). (Text by John T. Carpenter and Yoshiko Yasumura, from the exhibition catalogue: Objects of instruction : treasures of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Anna Contadini, Editor. London : SOAS, University of London, 2007.) |
