Okimono - Hare/rabbit, Kutani, Japan, Meiji Era (1868-1912).
Small porcelain okimono figurine representing a Japanese hare or rabbit (Usagi). Made of gilded porcelain, covered with crackled enamel. Usagi means "rabbit" or "hare" in Japanese. In Japan, it is a symbol of happiness, but also of ambition, development, and the pursuit of a goal. Rabbits have short front legs, which makes it easier for them to climb than they descend. This is why they symbolize progress and determination. In Japanese folklore, there is a belief that a rabbit lives on the moon, which is linked to the Moon Viewing Festival (Tsukimi).
