The hare and the moon represent a long life in Japanese culture and were therefore a very often used subject on porcelains. This book gives an overview of the various styles to be found within the Arita porcelain group. Arita porcelain is named after the town where it was produced. In Arita, the porcelain was mainly produced for the Japanese market and therefore adapted to the taste of the Japanese.
