Washizome Kamon Sarasoroi (和紙染花文皿揃)
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 three kinds of cherry petals.
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 : 3.3 cm
Diameter : 16.2 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.
