    DescriptionBizen yaki sculpture of Kannon (Kuan-yin) seated on a base of a rocky outcropping, which would have served as an incense burner (koro). This form of high-fired stoneware was created to simulate bronze, as metal was once too precious for the manufacture of arms and armor to be spared for such iconic sculpture.

    There are no works to discover for this record.
