This blue and white plate is 6 1/2 inch in diameter , maker mark on reverse . I found this in a Goodwill store for under $5 and had to have it , fell in love with the scene and named it myself for the scene depicted . If anyone has maker information , origin or artist ; that would be appreciated .

Have no idea how I could've missed this. It's truly wonderful!!
well let explaian the very basics , because they changed it in a feel good plate
well CECI N'EST PAS UNE PIPE ( magritte)
first of all the origin in a different way but for the same social -antrpological reasons is Jiajing Period 1522-1566
the intention is to represent an moon-hare
this is the priciple of overemphasizing, because Hare and moon are symbols which tends to immortality
the daoist legend a hare is dillently grinding an potion of immortality
the famous archer YI ( an sort of Swartzenegger Conan was the owner of it but was stolen by Lady Chang E ( the later immortal)who fed fed the potion to the moon
there are lot of interprations ( 9)
Buddha was known for his travelling because he has to reach the transitions
Once he was in a forrest he was worn and hungry ( kentucky fried chicken did, not exist then)
and the animals paid hommage to give him their own food
But there was one naughty rabbit he ate the donation for Buddha himself , but he felt guilty , and the rabbit said , eat me in stead
so buddha was deeply moved, so he gave the rabbit the eternal life on the moon, so a rabbit is an association of long life
by the way your plate is almost brandnew
it might be brand new, but it's a copy of a famous 18th c Japanese plate!
no the shoki imari is around 1630 is also what they call Fukizumi , but that is edo periode periode , and as far as i know there is no synchronasation with the Muromachi period 1333–1568 and the Azuchi–Momoyama period 1568-1600
the question was is the origen, actually you are referring to an homonym namely mochi
but there is a difference in the chinese approach and the japanse the japanese gives it a more Moritsuke meaning
