- Description
- CREATORS INFO
Slender branches are drawn in iron pigment, forming a graceful framework that gently supports simplified cherry blossoms.
By distilling Ogata Kenzan’s distinctive sakura motif, the design conveys both lightness and quiet elegance, allowing the fleeting beauty of spring to be felt in an intimate, contemporary form.
About Utsushi
Utsushi is a long-standing practice in Japanese ceramics in which artists respectfully learn from and reinterpret the works of great masters.
Rather than simple reproduction, it is a creative dialogue between past and present, allowing tradition to be carried forward through a contemporary hand.
