This is an Imari-yaki soba choko (small bowl for soba noodles) made from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. The front depicts a landscape with a large rock and a house. The back features what appear to be two boats, enjoying the negative space in the distance, creating a different atmosphere from the front. The skillful brushwork feels somewhat cheerful. #kotosya Imari Soba Choko Collection ◆Size ∅6.5cm x Height 5.3cm ◆Scratches, Condition There is a scratch on the rim of the foot (see image 4).
