Large Vase

Kinkozan workshop

On the front panel of this piece, enclosed in a large cartouche, is a scene depicting a long-tailed cock, a hen, and chicks. On the back panel is a peacock fanning its tail. In Japan the cock, associated with courage and martial spirit, is a symbol of masculine strength. Similarly, in Japanese esoteric Buddhism the peacock is a symbol of immortality and is celebrated for its legendary strengths.
