Satsuma Meiji Period
The Meiji Period runs from 1868 to 1912 and during this time there were many events that shaped Japan and also the pottery and porcelain that was being made.
The Satsuma Clan who were based on the same southern island of Japan and from the area responsible for creating the exquisite pottery began a revolt against the government as they were not happy with the direction they were taking. The Satsuma Samurai rose up against the army of the Meiji government, swords against guns.
The uprising was swiftly crushed by the government army but the tales of the rebellion and uprising live on in the pottery and art from that period. Images of war, of the Samurai - notably Saigo Takamori or Kido Koin both important figures in this era appear on the sides of the Satsuma Vases and bowls, fighting for their beliefs.
Satsuma Pottery from the Meiji Period is a popular choice amongst collectors and antique buyers due to the historic times when it was created as well as the fine craftsmanship and quality.
