介绍（中）	这只大的双壁银碗采用纹理细腻的锤击地面，容器周围盘绕着一条龙，以高浮雕的形式雕刻而成。龙的鳞片、山脊和面部特征都被描绘成精细的追逐，未经装饰的内部被打磨得闪闪发光。"1895年10月1日"的日期刻在正面中央的碗脚上。作品底部有一个凸起的矩形印章状签名，上面写着"Kōnoike and Eishō。这只优雅的碗可能是为了纪念一个重要事件而特别订购的明治社会的全面改革给艺术的生产和展示带来了深远的变化。随着武士阶层的解散，传统的赞助模式让位给了新的渠道。为战士生产剑和剑配件等功能性物品的金属工人将他们的技能转向了制作物品，目的无非是为了美观。艺术和工艺开始在艺术学校教授，为传统的工作室模式增添了新的范式。世界博览会刺激了日本装饰艺术的国际市场。19世纪后期创作的艺术作品将日本传统的主题和设计与西方影响的自然主义相结合。龙碗在明治时期似乎很流行；银和青铜的例子仍然存在，有些有一个模型脚和非常华丽的浮雕装饰，但Eishō的碗更接近江户时期的传统设计。
介绍（英）	This large, double-walled silver bowl features a textured, masterfully hammered ground with a dragon coiled around the vessel executed in high repoussé relief. The dragon’s scales, ridges, facial features are depicted with fine chasing and the undecorated interior is burnished to a high shine. The date “1st October 1895” is inscribed on the foot of the bowl in the center of the front. A raised, rectangular seal-shaped signature on the bottom of the work reads “Made by Kōnoike and Eishō” indicating a collaboration between Kurokawa Eishō, a well-known specialist of hammering and the Kōnoike Company, a producer and dealer of Japanese silver ware, based in Yokohama. The elegant bowl might have been a special order to commemorate an important event. The sweeping reforms in Meiji society brought far-reaching changes to the production and display of art. With the dissolution of the samurai class, traditional patterns of patronage gave way to new outlets. Metalworkers who had produced functional objects like swords and sword fittings for warriors turned their skill to making objects for no other purpose than aesthetic display. Art and craft began to be taught in art schools, adding a new paradigm to the traditional workshop model. World Expositions stimulated international markets for Japanese decorative arts. Works of art produced in the late 19th century combined traditional Japanese motifs and designs with Western-influenced naturalism. Dragon bowls appear to have been popular during the Meiji period; examples in both silver and bronze still exist, some with a modeled foot and very ornate relief decoration, but Eishō’s bowl is closer to traditional Edo-period design.
