Rare Meiji period Satsuma temple jar — raised moriage, gilt panel scenes of noble men, birds, and landscape. Antique Meiji Satsuma lidded urn attributed to Akira Kokorozashi (Meiji period, 1861–1912). This finely executed temple jar features multiple hand‑painted narrative panels with noble men, elders, birds and flowering branches set against stylized landscapes and architectural details. Raised moriage enamel work and generous gold gilt accent the panels, borders and the domed lid topped with a gilt finial.
