The piece is finished in a serene seiji (celadon) glaze, whose soft jade-blue tone and glossy surface highlight the smooth, flowing contours of the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rat is rendered in a highly simplified and modern form. Its rounded body gently transitions into an elongated pointed snout, while subtle relief details define the ear and eye. This minimalist design emphasizes balance and purity of form, allowing the beauty of the porcelain body and celadon glaze to become the central aesthetic feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArita ware, produced in Saga Prefecture since the early 17th century, represents Japan’s earliest porcelain tradition and is celebrated for its refined white porcelain clay and masterful glazing techniques. Artists such as Gyokuzen continue this legacy by combining traditional craftsmanship with contemporary sculptural sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the first animal of the Japanese zodiac, the rat symbolizes intelligence, resourcefulness, and the beginning of new cycles. With its quiet elegance and symbolic meaning, this Arita celadon rat serves as both a charming zodiac ornament and a refined example of modern Japanese porcelain artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize: 10 x 4 x 4cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Kyo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56702978195787,"sku":"FT382","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0964\/9746\/7723\/files\/temple_87ca98e3-58a7-4c41-a398-acdccafec29c.jpg?v=1772722104","url":"https:\/\/fr.maisonkyo.be\/products\/ft382-seiji-zodiac-rat-of-arita-ware-%e6%9c%89%e7%94%b0%e7%84%bc","provider":"Maison Kyo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
