A masterwork by Namikawa Yasuyuki, Artist to the Imperial Household (Teishitsu Gigei-in). Executed in the signature palette of glazes for which the Namikawa workshop is renowned, this is a work of vivid, jewel-like beauty. Graceful butterflies and blossoms are lavished across the entire surface — a resplendent example of chōzetsu-gikō (transcendent virtuosity).
