Tsuboshima Dohei’s ceramic oeuvre reveals an impressive breadth: Within his porcelain practice, he engages deeply with historical Chinese decorative traditions. This jar, for example, draws upon late-Ming overglaze motifs rendered in vibrant red and green. A vivid instance of this Aka-e style is also held in the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art. Comparable historical examples of Ming dynasty jars, decorated in both over- and underglaze red, can be found in major museum collections worldwide.
