This is a blue-and-white Imari plate from the Edo period. On this large plate, measuring 24.4 cm in diameter, two koi fish are depicted in a dynamic and lively manner, showcasing the master craftsmanship of the Edo period. In Japan, koi have long been considered a symbol of good fortune, representing success and perseverance. The indigo blue used in the underglaze has a rich depth, with beautifully gradated shades skillfully expressing the three-dimensionality of the fish.

Imari ware, widely cherished during the Edo period, gained high acclaim both domestically and internationally, particularly in Europe, where it became popular as part of the Japonisme movement. This piece is a valuable work of art that conveys the aesthetic sensibilities of that time to the present day. The condition of the plate is excellent, with no significant cracks or chips, retaining its outstanding preservation despite its long history.

This item, a fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and masterful craftsmanship, holds significant value for collectors, tea ceremony enthusiasts, or anyone interested in Japanese fine art and crafts.
