The 'Hichozan' mark was used by the Japanese firm Tashiro, which produced and marketed porcelain wares from Arita for the Western export market from the mid 19th Century. Painted in a Bunjinga (Literati) style, the vase would have been designed with the export market in mind and potentially offered at one of the great expositions or commissioned following these interactions.
