Clichy GlasshouseDish in Shape of Japanese Court Woman ca. 1780 Japan The court women of the Heian period (794-1185), characterized by their long flowing hair and multilayered clothing with elaborate and brilliantly juxtaposed patterns, play an important role in Japanese visual arts.

Date: first half of the19th century.Although the pearl-shell motifs scattered over the surface of this inro appear floral, the lattice-like structure also identifies the design as an abstract representation of nets. Such a repetitive pattern over the entire surface may reflect the use of stencils to decorate Japanese textiles with small, repetitive patterns by the resist-dye technique, a tradition that flourished in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

One of its most ambitious attempts at reproducing the appearance of hardstones can be seen in this cup and saucer (see also 09.129.11b) with matching tray, which simulate malachite and jasper on a porphyry ground. A less complex but equally elegant decoration is found on the cup and saucer painted to imitate lapis lazuli.. Cup (gobelet litron) 191158Tray with Scene from the Tale of Genji early 17th century Japan The size, geometric motifs, and extensive use of pearl shell suggest that this tray may have been intended for trade to Europe. The imagery, however, derives from the Tale of Genji, one of Japans most famous literary works. Written by Lady Murasaki Shikibu (ca. 978-ca. 1014), this lengthy book traces the customs of the aristocratic society and the tumultuous love life of Hikaru Genji, a distant member of the imperial family. The tray illustrates a moment when Genji (seated in the cart and not visible) passes by a former illicit lover while traveling. Both are assailed by bittersweet memories as they glimpse each other in passing..
