Yabu Meizan

Style

Meizan's works are the most meticulously decorated Satsuma wares. This highly detailed decoration was applied using copper plate designs. Engraved copper plates were used to print the designs on paper, which were then cut to provide stencils for painting on vases or plates. the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition at Portland, Oregon in 1905, and the London Japan–British Exhibition of 1910. The Walters Art Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art also hold pieces. Works by Meizan were included in exhibitions drawn from the Khalili Collections at the National Museum of Wales, Cardiff, in 1994 and 1995; in the Wilmington Arts Centre, Delaware, in 1999; the Portland Art Museum in 2002; and in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, in 2006.
