EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a 19th century Japanese ceramic rabbit sculpture, hailing from the esteemed Hirado Mikawachi Ware tradition of Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan. The rabbit, with its expressive eyes wide open and body tensed, appears to be in a state of alarm or fear, as if sensing an imminent threat. The intricately detailed porcelain piece, with its white glaze, red overglaze, and luster finish, exudes an aura of heritage art and craftsmanship that transports us back in time. The rabbit, a common motif in Asian art, is often symbolic of fertility, longevity, and good fortune. However, in this instance, the artist has skillfully captured a moment of vulnerability and unease, adding an intriguing layer of depth to the piece. The rabbit's position, looking back over its shoulder, further emphasizes its sense of apprehension and the need to be on guard. This stunning work of art, now a part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The porcelain's golden hue, achieved through the application of luster, adds a regal touch, making it a standout piece in any collection or display. The close-up perspective of this studio shot allows us to fully appreciate the intricacies of the rabbit's design, from the delicate lines of its fur to the precise detailing of its ears and whiskers. This unknown artist's mastery of the ceramic medium is truly a sight to behold.
