Fabric Motif*: Unusual Japanese design (Western influences, less typically traditional Japanese) in an abstract lateral array of what look like non-traditional crests, each figure being 2.5 inches/6.4 cm tall on a black background; these figures are in even parallel rows and have a variety of perhaps floral -- but decidedly not classic-Japanese designs; The figures are in off-white and other colors used are pink, dark-red, grays and dark blues; As is typical in Meisen, note the impressionistic fuzzy edges; patterns same on both sides; this particular meisen has no sheen and is softer than most of the other meisens we see from this period.
Colors: Reminder that colors and contrast differ on different devices, so please refer to our text color descriptions.
One explanation of such an apparently abstract design for Japanese kimono fabric -- motifs that are fairly non-Japanese in sensibility -- stems from immediate post-war (World War II)1945-1960 Japan: Sometimes we see pieces from this period when Japanese artists and designers felt free to be experimental ("let loose?"), often borrowing from Western abstract art or French Impressionism even in traditional Japanese motifs.
