From the museum
Seifū Yohei II excelled as a painter, as evidenced by his floral and landscape designs. His works were selected as the best among Kyoto ceramics shown to jurists from Europe and the US, thus paving the way for international recognition of the studio in the late 1800s. This dish has a complex landscape with a river or lakefront residential compound set among pine and willow trees and approached by a plank bridge over the water.
