               PROVENANCE
               A Japanese private collection since the 19th century
               The present plaque belongs to a set of 15 plaques made in Jingdezhen
               for the Japanese market. According to the inscriptions, the plaque was
               commissioned by a Japanese patron named Jingdi jushi of Hashimoto
               (present-day Hashimoto, Wakayama Prefecture) based on the painting
               ‘Eight Views of Lake Biwa’ by Kano Eigaku (1790-1867), the ninth
               head of Kyo-Kano School. The ‘Eight Views of Lake Biwa’ was in turn
               inspired by the ‘Eight Views of Xiangjiang’ of the Dongting Lake region
               in China. For other plaques from this set, see one in the Shanghai
               Museum, illustrated in Zhongguo taoci quanji-15-Qing, Shanghai, 1999,
               no. 124 (fig. 1); one in the Hikone Castle Museum; and one in the Otsu
               City Museum of History.
