Japanese-made porcelain
The title is Washizome Sakuramon Ichirinzashi (和紙染桜文一輪差).
This is a single flower vase created by Nakao Hidezumi.
He attached pieces of traditional papers to the body and expressed the cherry petals pattern.
We feel something harmoious or peaceful from the work.
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent paper called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.
Height : 17.4 cm
Diameter : 7.2 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.
