Classic Kinrande Style

Toguri Museum of art, Tokyo

After the infancy of the early Edo Period passed and political and economic foundation was established, powered by the affluent citizens the lavish culture flourished during the Genroku era (1688-1704). The Classic Kinrande-style Imari Ware was developed during this time.

The vivid Kinrande style bowls called Katamono, characterized by abundant use of gold color in addition to red, yellow, green, purple and black on the dyed blue base color, were valued highly by wealthy merchants as prized china.

Since mid-seventeenth century, Imari-yaki china were also important export goods for Japan. Reflecting European aristocrats’ taste, oversized and splendid vases and jars were produced for interior decoration and exported overseas during the Genroku era.

This exhibition features two significantly different types of “Kinrande- Style Classic Imari Ware”, one that reflects domestic demand and the other, for foreign demand.
