Japanese-made porcelain
The title is Washizome Sakuramon Futamono (和紙染桜文蓋物).
This is a bowl created by Nakao Hidezumi.
It comes with a lid.
He attached pieces of traditional papers to the body and expressed the cherry petals pattern.
"Sakura" is one of the flowers that represent Japan, so it's great as a gift in all seasons.
Washizome technique :
Tearing absorbent paper called washi to pieces.
Making such papers layers to produce the pattern while giving out color gradation.
Height : 6.5 cm
Diameter : 12.9 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.
