Arita Ware Large Decorative Plate - Iroe Persimmons, Hand Painted by Obata Yuji

Sale price¥2,118,500

Against a ground of lustrous white porcelain, a brilliant persimmon tree is drawn.

Persimmons on the Branch
Each persimmon is coloured in fresh gradations, and each leaf is drawn with its own shading of green, down to the holes left by insects. The branches carrying the heavy crop of fruit are full of life.

Kaki, and the Coming of Good Fortune
The Japanese word for persimmon, kaki, is taken to echo an auspicious phrase meaning “joy arriving,” and so the tree has long been held to be a fortunate one, a sign that happy events are on their way.

Entirely Hand-Painted, One of a Kind
Holding the traditional beauty of Japan, the piece has been well received by many — as a special gift for someone who matters, as a commemorative present for a company, and as a gift for someone from abroad. Every piece we handle is a one-off, painted entirely by hand without transfers, and comes with a special paulownia box bearing the artist’s inscription.
