EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print showcases a detailed and intricately crafted rabbit sculpture, hailing from the Hirado Mikawachi Ware tradition in Japan. The rabbit, with its soft, white body and light green tinged glaze, is seated in a relaxed position, its feet curled beneath it. The close-up perspective offers a glimpse into the artistry and skill of the unknown artist who meticulously crafted this exquisite work of art. Originating from the Hirado region of Japan, Hirado Ware is a type of porcelain that gained popularity during the 16th to 19th centuries. This particular piece, with its delicate and precise details, exemplifies the high level of craftsmanship and artistic vision that characterized this period in Japanese ceramics. The rabbit, a common motif in Asian art, symbolizes fertility, abundance, and good fortune. In this context, the seated rabbit may represent the abundance and prosperity of the natural world, or it may have been created as an ornament or okimono for the enjoyment of the collector or patron. This rabbit sculpture is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The museum's studio shot highlights the intricacies of the piece and invites viewers to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of this unknown masterpiece from the second half of the 19th century.
