Excerpt from Mythological Japan: Or the Symbolisms of Mythology in Relation to Japanese Art
The instinctive desire to know the innermost meaning of things has always been an important quality in the mind of man, a quality particularly worthy in connection with the interesting lore of the East, where myths have ever held a sacred place.
From the first, the decoration of the ornamental wares of Dai Nippon have represented all the symbols sacred to Orientals, the purer porcelains often bearing the seal names of royalty. De lightfully poetic representations of the thoughts and beliefs, events both mythical and real, Nature's foliage and flora, and a great deal more that absorbs the Japanese mind. Become willing captives in the hands of the clever artisans of Japan. The underlying motive in this inspired labor - to do homage to their beloved mythology - is apparent in all their works.
While collectors the world over revel in the magnificent color ings and forms of Japan's art objects, it is the mysterious and the mythical in their composition that most charms and captivates.
