Kyoto’s Satsuma:
The painting technique used in Kyoto’s Satsuma-style ware is said to be the invention of the sixth generation Kinkōzan Sōbei (1824–1884). The Kinkōzan were a famous family of Kyoto Awataguchi potters who made ceramics that were used at Shōren’in, a temple closely tied to the imperial family, and by the shoguns of the Edo government. In fact the shogun is said to have granted them the name Kinkōzan. With the upheavals at the end of the Edo period, however, and the reforms of the subsequent Meiji government, the potters lost their traditional patrons and had to develop new markets.
Just at that time, the visit of a certain Westerner is said to have decided them to embark on overseas trade. By 1870, they had perfected Kyō Satsuma’s glazing technique and by 1872 they began their export in full scale. The Kyō Satsuma techniques invented by Kinkōzan Sōbei VI were then passed down to his son, Kinkōzan Sōbei VII (1868–1927), who further developed the ware.

Kinkōzan Sōbei VII (1868–1927)
The Kinkōzan continued to enlarge their business throughout the Meiji period to the point where the production of Kyō Satuma exceeded the original Satsuma made in Kagoshima.
Kinkōzan’s climbing kilns
At the point of peak production, Kyoto’s Satuma kilns boasted over 700 workers within a production complex over 4000 square meters in size. The ceramics were produced from two types of local clay taken from the outskirts of Awadaguchi and two types of clay from Koga in the neighboring Shiga prefecture. Painting, packing, and selling were taken care of within Kinkōzan workshops. At the time, Awataguchi was so crowded with ceramic workshops—including Obiyama, Yasuda, and Kusube—that it was said that the flames of the Awadaguchi kilns burned through the day and night.
The numerous collections of Kyoto Satsuma in Europe and the U.S. bespeak the success of Kyō Satsuma on the export market. Among the numerous museums with Kyō Satsuma holdings are the Victoria and Albert Museum in the U.K., the Guimet Museum of Asian Art in France and the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the U.S., which house Kyō Satsuma vases, incense burners, bowls, and dishes in their collections.
Kyō Satsuma production was initiated with an eye on the international market, and it reflects the trends of the late 19th century soon after Japan had reopened its doors, depicting Japan as the West wanted to see it. The heavy use of gold, the typical Japanese paintings of genre scenes or birds and flowers, and the many coffee cups and teapots produced all catered to Western preferences and life styles. Pairs of vases were frequently used as lamps or as decorations for fireplaces.

Pair of Fine Miniature Satsuma Vase with Moriage Enamel Decoration by Seikozan

pkversion — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 02:31:16 +0000

A pair of small ceramic vases with superb surface decorations made by Japanese studio Seikozan circa 1890-1910s (late Meiji Period). One of the many artist studios that specialized in satsuma ware, Seikozan was perhaps a handful exceptional establishment in Kobe that produced masterpieces with the highest quality and craftmanship, comparable to the work from the studio of Yabu Meizan. The output was small and most limited to miniature scale with impeccably detailed surface decoration.

The matching satsuma vases form a rare pair, and they feature dense gilt and enamel decoration in a slight moriage fashion. Each vase features two shield-shape vignettes at front and back, surrounded by gilt borders, and in between, partitioned zones of various geometrical and floral motifs in jewel-tone enamels. Each vignette depicts a boisterous scene from various stage of a festival gathering, populated by large numbers of party goers. From the preparing the initial arrival of the guests to welcome the guests at the gate, from arranging foods and drinks to the final lively banquet. The four vignettes form a continuous story board. Densely painted as it was, every character was rendered lively and completely unique, from their attires, postures, gestures, movements, down to the facial expressions, and all ages and genders were included. The dimensional composition and meticulous execution are so impressive that the images impress the viewers as a snapshot of the moment. One can feel the infection of the joyful atmosphere by looking at them.
Both vases were signed on the base “Seikozan”. These are miniature masterpieces, pinnacle in workmanship and rarely available as a pair with spatial and temporal pictorial narratives.
