None at all !! Being in Texas I really have no idea about Japanese folklore !! Looks pretty modern !! These things are found at import shops even today and on ebay !!

thank you so much that helps any idea of date when it was made. or what the scene is on the front.

You have a traditional Japanese rice bowl !! I do not read the language but chances are it is a saying about the scene painted on it !! If it were mine I would take it to a local oriental restaurant or market and ask if they can tell you what it says !!
