Satsuma Elephant 2

ID: 1016 | This file appears in: Satsuma Elephant

The ears of the elephant are glazed in an ivory yellow color, as well as the painted image on the sides, displaying a picturesque Japanese social gathering. Four women and two men are standing clustered in a garden, each gender separate. The women stand close as they introduce a shy but beautiful woman to a potential suitor, the suitor's father or grandfather standing close beside him. The scene is quaint and modest, with little expressive energy.<br />
