Kenjo Imari, according to Jörg's commentary in Cassidy-Geiger, 2008, p. 713, refers to a specific type of Imari that is highly decorated and meant for domestic consumption. Kenjo, meaning "for presentation", were presented special occasions. Jörg further notes that there are several examples in the Dresden collection, such as the pair of bottle vases illustrated in Eva Stöber, 2001, cat. no. 85.
