Title:
Sometsuke Doban Hata Kozara (small dish with transferprint flags)
Catalog Number:
AACC-94-070
Source:
Asian American Comparative Collection
Description:
The central image on this kozara is a three-leaved paulownia flower flanked by two naval flags. The paulownia flower is associated with the imperial family. The two naval flags help date this plate to between 1889 and 1945 when they were in use. The text above the flags (帝国 萬歳) reads 'Teikoku Banzai,' or 'Hurray for the empire!' Stylized chrysanthemums, also symbols of the Japanese imperial family, extend from the central medallion to a subtly scalloped rim (Dower 1971:52, 68, 112).
