Washizome Sakuramon Kozara-soroi (和紙染桜文小皿揃)
This is an Arita ware plate which Hidezumi-san has created.
He soaked traditional papers into blue paint called gosu, and expressed the cherry petals pattern.
Enjoy seeing cherry petals scattering.
"Sakura" is one of the flowers that represent Japan, so it's great as a gift in all seasons.
This is a set of five plates (5 pcs).
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent paper called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.
Height : 2.5 cm
Diameter : 12.4 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.
