Short Description
Marks: 愼德堂製 - “Made for the Hall of Prudent Virtue.” A classical Chinese-style studio name used by Miyanaga Tōzan, reflecting his admiration for Chinese porcelain traditions.
東山款 - “Mark of Tōzan.” The artist’s personal signature mark.
Together, these inscriptions represent the typical way Miyanaga Tōzan signed his porcelain, adopting the visual idiom of Chinese imperial marks while asserting a distinct Japanese identity rooted in Kyoto’s ceramic heritage.
