Washizome Sakuramon Ichirinzashi (和紙染桜文一輪差)
This is an Arita ware vase which Hidezumi-san has created.
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.
