Fukushima Takeyama's limited edition \"16-size large bowl with small pattern\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e This magnificent piece features an intricately patterned small motif covering the entire surface of a large bowl measuring 48cm in diameter. At first glance, it appears to be a beautiful, orderly arrangement of geometric shapes, but upon closer inspection, one is astonished to discover that it is actually a mind-boggling accumulation of extremely fine lines. Although it is a single red color, the profound shades created by varying the density and strength of the lines and the use of different brushstrokes give the impression of a richness of color that is hard to believe is a single color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Akae saigaki (decorative painting) is a technique in which patterns are created by densely packing lines sometimes as thin as a hair. This delicate technique, known as \"superb skill,\" is applied to every corner of such a huge bowl, requiring not only exceptional skill but also extraordinary mental strength. The contrast between the overwhelming scale and the extreme detail creates a majestic presence that leaves viewers speechless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Fukushima Takeyama, a leading expert in Akae (red porcelain) detailing, has revived this technique, which was once on the verge of extinction. This work, measuring an impressive 16cm in size, is a museum-quality masterpiece that embodies his passion and skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e The viewer is overwhelmed, yet at the same time feels a gentle, enveloping comfort, perhaps because Takeyama's sincere personality is embodied in the hand-drawn lines. The sophisticated composition that harmonizes the traditional \"komonte\" design with modern spaces is truly a state of mind that only he can achieve. Perhaps there is no other work that is more aptly described as \"detailed and graceful.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Product size: diameter 48cm x height 9cm\u003cbr\u003e Box type: Paulownia wood box with string\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"九谷プレミアムセレクション","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47507302744318,"sku":"ap3-4002","price":2200000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0769\/9867\/2638\/files\/ap3-4002.webp?v=1762999641","url":"https:\/\/kutanipremium.jp\/en\/products\/kutani-large-bowl-akae-saibyo-komonte-buzan-fukushima","provider":"九谷プレミアムセレクション","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
