This is the Arita ware crafted by NAKAO, Hidezumi (中尾英純).
He outlined the rabbits in white color and surrounded by indigo gradation-dyed papers around it.
The work has the bright indigo color overall.
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.
