The fish have such realism with the winding river leading away from the eye and the accompanying boardwalk going off into the distance. The painting includes classic Japanese iconic detail with prunus blossom overhanging and beautiful tall blue irises in the foreground.
The geisha ladies are attractively dressed in traditional costume with beautiful hand gilded kimono with red ironstone highlights, with their hair set in the traditional Japanese styling.
This is a truly beautiful example with great style and quality and is ready to hang with its original wire cage to the reverse.
The charger bears the original factory backstamp to the work which indicates the manufacturer. While it is very hard to make out, this is highly likely to be Arita ware from the Hizen region of Japan manufactured during the Edo period.
Perfect condition, no damage or restoration.
The charger is a fine size with great impact in any situation measuring 46.5 cms in diameter.
