Subject:Kutani plate in Satsuma style
Posted By: AnthonyPvR Thu, Nov 12, 2015 IP: 24.155.238.229
Hi Everyone, I acquired this Kutani plate while living in South Africa. I know that some Kutani artist would create some pieces in the Satsuma style which is what this is. The artistry on this piece in person is wonderful and is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. Would anyone be able to recognize the artist/shop name to the left of the Kutani mark? I have searched and searched and can not find anything. Thanks so much,Anthony.

I read the shopname of the maker as 'Jinshôdô sei' (軔曻堂製) or 'Chôshôdô sei (朝曻堂製 but I'm not sure about the first character. Found no more info.

Anyway, a very nice Kutani plate depicting a family of nihonzaru (Japanese macaques) with a decorative border of butterflies.

Guy.
