| Object history | Purchased from the Japanese Commissioners for the Philadelphia Exposition of 1876, accessioned in 1877. This acquisition information reflects that found in the Asia Department registers, as part of a 2022 provenance research project. |
| Production | Ishizaki Yasuyuki and Tokudome Daisuke, curators, Hagi Uragami Museum, suggested during a research visit to the V&A on 28 January 2011 that this bowl might be a later copy made circa 1750-1800. They were not fully confident, however, of this reattribution of date. |
