This small Arita ware porcelain figurine depicts a charming parent and child monkey in soft, gentle tones. The larger monkey measures 4 cm in height and the smaller 2.8 cm, making them delightful palm-sized ornaments that create a warm family scene when displayed together. In Japan, monkeys are considered auspicious because the word “saru” sounds like “to leave,” as in “misfortune leaving” (ma ga saru), symbolizing protection from evil and bad luck. As a parent-and-child pair, they also represent family harmony and prosperity for future generations, making them a meaningful gift. Carefully crafted in Arita, Japan, the smooth porcelain texture and elegant glaze give these tiny figures a refined presence.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
