Plate by Tominaga Genzan, Tomobako

This impressive Kobe Satsuma charger by Tominaga Genzan depicts a majestic tiger leading its cub through tall grasses, creating a composition filled with strength and quiet narrative. The adult tiger advances with commanding presence while the younger tiger follows attentively, capturing both the dignity of the wild and the subtle bond between parent and offspring.Executed with exceptionally refined brushwork, the stripes, fur, whiskers, and facial expressions are rendered with remarkable realism and depth. Soft ink-painted grasses provide an atmospheric setting, while the elegant gilt rim enhances the sophisticated character of Kobe Satsuma ware. Combining painterly realism with masterful ceramic decoration, this work is an outstanding example of Genzan's animal subjects and is accompanied by its original tomobako.
