Japanese-made porcelain
The title is Washizome Usagi Bokashimon Meshiwan (和紙染兎ぼかし文飯碗).
This is a bowl created by Nakao Hidezumi.
Meshiwan is a Japanese rice-bowl, whose mouth is wide to hold lots of rice and makes it easier for us to eat.
He outlined the rabbits in white color and surrounded by indigo gradation-dyed papers around it.
Washizome-bokashi is the decorative skill obtained by controlling the shade and gets to gradation dyeing.
Hidezumi attaches clay to traditional papers soaked by the blue pigments and finishes work in the quality color.
Height : 6 cm
Diameter : 11.5 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.
