The treasure of the highest quality
This piece is created using a unique technique known as *yūrisai* (underglaze polychrome), which allows vibrant colors to shine through a transparent glaze, resulting in a flawless, radiant porcelain surface. The work employs subtle tonal shifts and a distinctive "soft-focus" (*bokashi*) technique; rather than using sharp outlines, the artist renders the subject and its shading by modulating the intensity of the colors themselves, creating a gentle, diffused effect. The entire piece—including the base—is meticulously hand-painted, combining the lustrous porcelain surface with matte gold accents; its completion represents a triumph of refined skill, demanding immense time and effort. The contrast between the deep, luminous sheen of the porcelain and the matte gold creates an exquisite elegance and a commanding presence. It is a masterpiece highly prized as a gift for visiting dignitaries from around the world.
The dragon is an imaginary creature revered as a divine beast of the heavens; it is said to inhabit the waters, soar through the air upon the clouds, and possess supernatural power. Ranked alongside the tortoise, the qilin, and the phoenix as one of the "Four Auspicious Creatures," the dragon held such significance in China—particularly from the Yuan Dynasty onward—that "dragon motifs" were reserved exclusively for the attire of the Emperor and forbidden for use outside the imperial court. In Japan, too, the dragon has been cherished since the Heian and Kamakura periods, with its motif widely adopted in art forms ranging from paintings to ceramics. It is regarded as an auspicious symbol believed to bring about career advancement, rising fortune, and the growth and success of business ventures, while also offering protection against all manner of calamities.
Due to the extraordinary time and labor required, only about ten pieces in this *yūrisai* and *kinrande* (gold-brocade style) are produced annually, making each one a rare, unique work of the highest quality.
The gold decoration follows the *yūri-kinsai* (underglaze gold) technique, in which the gold is covered with a thin layer of transparent glaze before firing; this ensures the gold will not peel, fade, or discolor over time.
While we invite you to admire the deep luster of the underglaze colors and the intricate gold-brocade patterns, please note that the linework is exceptionally fine and delicate. Due to the complexity of the painting and the nature of light reflection, some details may not be fully captured in the photographs. Additionally, please understand that the actual colors may appear slightly different depending on your computer monitor settings.
