Pair of covered cups
View through Europeana Collections
Inscription inside: “One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets”
Named after the district in Japan where it is produced, Satsuma earthenware is an elaborately decorated type of ceramic. It is covered with a creamy, finely crackled glaze that serves as a background for minutely painted scenes highlighted by extravagant gilding.
The outside of these cups is painted with depictions of some of the most famous Japanese poets and poetesses. Inside the cups is a selection of poems (Hyakunin-isshu: One Hundred People, One Poem Each), testimony to the calligrapher’s virtuosity.
