EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Okimono, or Japanese decorative object, takes the form of a Chinese lion and its young from the 19th century. The lion, a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese and Japanese cultures, is depicted in a dynamic pose, bending forwards with its paw raised, while its cub looks up at its parent with curiosity and admiration. This masterpiece is a prime example of Hirado Ware, a type of porcelain produced in the Japanese port city of Hirado during the 16th to 19th centuries. The white background highlights the intricate details of the lion's mane, which is adorned with intricate patterns and delicate glazing. The clear glaze adds a lustrous sheen to the lion's body, enhancing its regal appearance. This Okimono was created during the 19th century, a time when Japan was opening up to the world and its art was influenced by various external influences. The fusion of Chinese and Japanese artistic traditions is evident in this piece, which showcases the rich cultural heritage of both continents. This image, captured in a studio setting, is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The museum's extensive collection of Asian art is a testament to the cultural diversity and artistic brilliance of the Asian continent. This Okimono is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Asian art or the intricacies of Japanese decorative arts.
