Washizome Bokashimon Kaki (和紙染ぼかし文花器)
This is an Arita ware vase which Hidezumi-san has created.
He shaped the vase with throwing on a potter’s wheell.
Washizome-bokashi is the decorative skill obtained by controling the shade and gets to gradation dyeing.
Hidezumi attaches clay to traditional papers soaked by the blue pigments and finishes work in the quality color.
Height : 26.2 cm
Diameter : 8 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.
