Product description
This chawan is an explosion of mastered life. Against a luminous ochre-yellow background, deep green leaves with precise veins intertwine with large blue-violet fruits, surrounded by areas of gray and mauve scattered with small four-petaled flowers, dotted with an almost surreal meticulousness. Every square centimeter of this bowl is inhabited, thought out, and hand-painted with an attention that commands respect.
This type of polychrome decoration, typical of Kyoto's Kyō-yaki, perfectly illustrates the spirit of Japanese decorative arts from the Edo period: an idealized nature, never realistic but always recognizable, rendered in bold colors and a balanced composition that avoids any clutter despite its apparent richness.
The interior of the bowl reveals an additional surprise: two Japanese calligraphy characters traced in brown on the cream-white background, discreet yet present, like a title placed by the potter on his work. A bowl that is read as much as it is drunk from. Only one piece available, for those who love beauty without restraint.
