Washizome Sakuramon Kakuzara (和紙染桜文角皿)
This is an Arita ware plate which Hidezumi-san has created.
He attached pieces of traditional papers to the body and expressed the cherry petals pattern.
"Sakura" is one of the flowers that represent Japan, so it's great as a gift in all seasons.
This is a set of two plates (2 pcs).
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent papers called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.
Height : 4 cm
Diameter : 13.5 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.
