Kaiji Tsukamoto : bowl
Reply
This blue-and-white porcelain bowl has an aesthetically pleasing flower pattern in a combination of carvings created by Kaiji Tsukamoto.
While the potter's wheel was still soft, the bowl was decorated with a design by using a spatula, and then shaded with fine lines by scraping with a comb.
On the outside, a sharply carved renben pattern is engraved using the kata-kiri carving technique.
The technique of carving such an uneven pattern on a thin bowl is unrivaled, and can be said to be the essence of Kaiji Tsukamoto, resulting in a tense work.
It is a gem with a limpid and dignified taste.
