A TALL JAPANESE SATSUMA VASE BY HOZAN
MEIJI ERA, 19TH/20TH CENTURY
The baluster body delicately painted with a daimyo and his retinue travelling to Edo for the sankin kotai; the winding procession of samurai painted in diminishing sizes creating an impression of perspective; some on horseback, others on foot carrying banners, boxes and other paraphernalia; between dense bands of flowers above the foot and to the shoulder, and with various mon and keyfret borders; the base signed Hozan under the Shimazu mon, 30.8cm.
