Unknown
18th century · Stoneware with polychrome overglaze enamels and gold (Ko-Kiyomizu ware) · Asian Art
In ceramics, the burst of color and decorative design that characterized the art of the Momoyama period (1573–1615) became prominent again with Nonomura Ninsei (ca. 1646–1694), whose vivid overglaze patterns were inspired by the beauty of the changing seasons and landscapes of Kyoto. These traditions influenced Kiyomizu ware, produced near the temple Kiyomizudera and embellished with green, blue, and gold overglaze motifs. This hexagonal jar is based on a famous prototype owned by the temple Yoshiminedera.
