Washizome Shimamon Kasei (和紙染縞文花生)
This is an Arita ware vase which Hidezumi-san has created.
He attached pieces of traditional papers to the hexahedron diagonally and expressed the stripes.
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent papers called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.
Height : 34 cm
Diameter : 10 cm
He cuts water-absorbent Japanese washi to the proper size, places the paper on unglazed pottery, and soaks it with cobalt blue color. The works affect us with a soft impression.
