Earthenware in the Satsuma kinrande (gold\nbrocaded) style produced in Meiji era Kyoto is called Kyo-Satsuma, as opposed\nto original Satsuma ware made in the Satsuma area (in southern Kyushu), which\nis called \u201cHon-Satsuma\u201d. Satsuma kinrande is a luxurious style where a gilded\npolychromatic enamel overglaze is applied to ivory-bodied pieces having a\ntraditional finely crackled, transparent shiro Satsuma glaze. Such pottery,\ncalled Satsuma in the western countries, was highly valued at the Paris Expo of\nthe late Edo period and the Vienna Expo in 1873 (Meiji 6), and among Westerners\nbecame recognized as a premium brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even at Awataguchi, a traditional site that\nsince the Edo period had produced quality pottery, a unique style of kinrande\nKyo-Satsuma ware was produced early in the Meiji period. Age-old craftsman\u2019s\nskills combined with original designs and innovative glazes influenced by the\nWest to bear dazzling new works unlike anything ever before seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At this time because of the popularity of\nexported Satsuma ware, regions other than Kyoto also began producing kinrande\nware, which brought confusion to the concept of Meiji era Satsuma ware, but in\nthe West, anything given the label \u201cSatsuma Ware\u201d, whether produced in the\nSatsuma region or not, held great sway. In Japan at present, these various\nworks are known as Kyo-Satsuma, Osaka-Satsuma, Kobe-Satsuma, Yokohama-Satsuma,\nTokyo-Satsuma and Kanazawa-Satsuma, etc., according to the district in which\nthe work was produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The present exhibit centers on works of\nexport Satsuma ware that took the world by storm, including first and foremost\nthe work of Kinkozan representing Kyoto, but also that of Yabu Meizan from\nOsaka and Seikozan from Kobe, in addition to pieces by Takebe Shoko from\nYokohama and Keida from Kagoshima. We hope you enjoy the world of the great\nKyo-Satsuma works born of that age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":221,"template":"","class_list":["post-222","special_exhibition","type-special_exhibition","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","en-US"],"acf":{"spex_mv":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u4eac\u85a9\u6469_web.jpg","spex_date_start":"2015\/8\/22","spex_date_end":"2015\/11\/15","spex_date_start_cal":"2015-08-22","spex_date_end_cal":"2015-11-15","spex_contents":[{"spex_contents_img":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u83ca\u5510\u8349\u6587\u30c6\u30a3\u30fc\u30bb\u30c3\u30c8tc_sweb.jpg","spex_contents_thumb":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u83ca\u5510\u8349\u6587\u30c6\u30a3\u30fc\u30bb\u30c3\u30c8_sweb.jpg","spex_contents_txt":"Kyoto Satsuma ware \/ Tea set with chrysanthemums and arabesque patterns, Kinkozan Sobei VII"},{"spex_contents_img":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u82b1\u9ce5\u56f3\u82b1\u74f6\u9326\u5149\u5c71tc_web.jpg","spex_contents_thumb":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u82b1\u9ce5\u56f3\u82b1\u74f6_\u4eac\u85a9\u6469_sweb.jpg","spex_contents_txt":"Kyoto Satsuma ware \/ Vase with birds and folowers, Kinkozan Sobei VII"},{"spex_contents_img":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u4eac\u85a9\u6469\u83d3\u5b50\u9262tc_web.jpg","spex_contents_thumb":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/\u83ca\u5c3d\u3057\u83d3\u5b50\u9262_sweb.jpg","spex_contents_txt":"Kyoto Satsuma ware \/ Bowl for sweets in shape of two conjoined chrysanthemums (unsigned)"}],"spex_pdf":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special_exhibition\/222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/special_exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/special_exhibition"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sannenzaka-museum.co.jp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
