Satsuma Platter Question...

I am wondering a if anyone could tell me something about this Satsuma Platter. I know its Japanese in origin and antique - but do not know the precise age of it. There is a mark on the reverse of the platter, but I didn't take a photo of it. Does anyone know what the "story" is behind subject of this artwork?

I am linking to the platter because I think my jpeg is too big to post in this thread. https://www.antiquers.com/media/satsuma-platter.12243/

 

Not too large:

 

Thank you! I don't know why it said image was too large when I tried to upload it.

 

Hello, @Skans & welcome to the forum!!

You are going to need to upload a photo of the back as well as close-ups of the mark on the back & a close-up photo of the main figure.

The backs of pottery & porcelain pieces can tell you a great deal even when there are no marks.

Japanese marks can be tricky as they have been faked for years.

A close-up of the main figure may be able to tell if it is hand-painted or a transfer print.

 

Could the man be Daruma?
I like it!
