The Kinkozan Peacock Vase is one of the most iconic and sought-after designs in Japanese Satsuma ware. In Japanese culture, the peacock (kujaku) is a symbol of integrity, beauty, and protection, often associated with the Buddhist deity Kujaku Myoo.
When a peacock is the central theme of a Kinkozan piece, it is usually designed to showcase the workshop’s absolute mastery of raised gilding and polychrome enamels.
