Background of the Japanese decoration on this bowl.
The wave pattern, or the "blue ocean wave," carries significant symbolic meanings.
It symbolizes good luck, peace, and tranquility, reflecting a desire for a calm and enduring life, much like the endless waves of the ocean.
The pine tree symbolizes longevity, steadfastness, and tenacity.
Bamboo is celebrated for its flexibility and resilience.
The plumb blossom is particularly revered because it blooms in winter, showing strength and perseverance to bloom amidst hardship.
Peonies are commonly associated with wealth and prosperity due to their full and rounded blooms.

- Pair Imari Jars Made in the Meiji Period, Japan Circa 1880Located in Katonah, NYHand-painted in Imari designs, both jars show beautiful waterside scenes in cobalt blue, gilt, and two tones of iron red. The colors are exquisite and intense. We see water lilies, lotus, peonies, and bellflowers. One jar shows a shoreline the other a cresting wave.

The hand-painted panels on the reverse echo the panels on the front of the jars but with many subtle changes (see image #8).
