EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite incense box in the shape of a turtle, originating from Nagoya, Aichi prefecture during the Edo period. Crafted with delicate precision by a Japanese artist in the 19th century, this ceramic masterpiece measures 2.7x5.6x7.8 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The turtle-shaped incense box is believed to be made using Ofuke ware technique, featuring stoneware adorned with a wood-ash glaze that adds depth and richness to its appearance. The intricate details on this vessel highlight the remarkable skill and artistry of its creator. Symbolically revered for their longevity and wisdom in Japanese culture, turtles hold significant meaning as creatures associated with good fortune and protection against evil spirits. This charming pottery piece not only serves as a functional container for incense but also carries cultural significance. Donated by Charles Lang Freer, this artwork represents an important part of Japan's artistic heritage preserved within the walls of one of America's most prestigious galleries. Its presence allows visitors to appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such objects during ancient times and gain insight into traditional Japanese beliefs surrounding animals.
