| Description of works | 【Multi-faceted beauty blossomed in the Ming dynasty】 Gosai (five-color glazed ware [wucai in Chinese]) are white porcelains glazed with clear glaze on which designs are painted using crimson, green, yellow, and other colored glazes and then fired at low temperatures. In Japan, they are called aka-e (red painting) or iro-e (color painting). This example is decorated with hosoge, an imaginary flower created by synthesizing multitudes of flowers and a karakusa (arabesque) pattern, filling the entire space. The underside of the dish is left unglazed, and features an unknown symbol and an indecipherable inscription in sumi black ink. Because the hosoge here has the same features as works made in the Chenghua period (1465–1487 CE), it is considered a product of the first half of the Ming dynasty (15th C. CE). |
