Choko Cup, Baby hedgehog

Sold Out

Description

Imari porcelain of the Edo period featured particularly delicate and gorgeous paintings that fascinated the West and would later leave a lasting impact on the production of ceramics in Europe. Among Edo-period Imari porcelain, Enpo-era pieces are thought to be the most elegant. Based on its delicate shades and styles, Iro-e combines traditional designs with household pets. The motif is based on a traditional pattern that usually includes a squirrel, which stands for productivity, fertility, and longevity. In this case, the squirrel has been changed to a cute baby hedgehog.
