The title is Washizome Chigirikamon Tsubo (和紙染ちぎり花文壺).
This is a jar created by Nakao Hidezumi.
He attached pieces of traditional papers to the body and expressed the petals pattern.
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent paper called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.

Diameter : 19 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.
