This is blue-and-white porcelain produced in the first decades of the seventeenth century in the early Imari style. This type of Japanese blue-and-white porcelain is known as sometsuke. This dish was decorated by cutting out paper designs of a rabbit, cloud, and rectangle, pasting them on the surface, spraying over the designs with cobalt-blue pigment, and then removing the paper-cut designs and filling in the details. The right side of the dish bears an inscription reading “white rabbit on a spring day(春白兎)” while the upper portion features a cloud. Such combination is a design commonly observed in early Imari blue-and-white porcelain. The dish features a slightly raised flat rim, which is a typical form produced in the official court kilns of the Joseon dynasty during the sixteenth century. Identical forms began to be produced in the Arita area from the seventeenth century onward. This is a valuable piece that demonstrates the development process of early white porcelain in Japan and its relationship with Joseon ceramics.
