Scenes in Ukiyo-e style are more often found on jars than on dishes. For a reticulated Imari bowl in the collection of H.M. the Queen, see Porcelain for Palaces, 1990, pl. 221. Jenyns, 1965, illustrates an example in Kakiemon enamels as pl. 72A; others are at Burghley House (The Burghley Porcelains, 1986, pls. 102, 103).
