This is a gorgeous antique Japanese bowl from the Meiji era, hand-painted depicting an erotic scene of a man and a woman. The man is clasping the woman in a close embrace. The man's hair is in a chonmage topknot, probably indicating his status as a samurai. The woman's hair is in a torobin or 'lantern locks' style.
The bowl is set on a high base, and signed in blue on the bottom with Jiang Shang Zhi , 'made by Egami,' which likely refers to Kumanosuke Egami (1837-1916) or possibly his son Kumaichi who founded the Egami kiln in Arita in 1876.
Size: Approximately 6 3/4" across the bowl; 1.5" tall.
Condition: The rim of the bowl appears to have been damaged and professionally repaired at some point. I can't tell the extent of the damage but I don't think it's very large.
