Washizome Bokashikamon Koro (和紙染ぼかし花文香炉)
This is an Arita ware incense burner which Hidezumi-san has created.
He soaked traditional papers into blue paint called gosu, and expressed the petals pattern.
Washizome-bokashi is the decorative skill obtained by controlling 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 : 8 cm
Diameter : 9.7 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.
