{"product_id":"ryusei-ishikawa-gold-auspicious-motifs-paneled-plant-pot-kutani","title":"Gold Auspicious Motifs Paneled Plant Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eIrregular geometric panels wrap around the rounded body of this plant pot by Kutani ware artist Ishikawa Ryusei, each presenting a different arrangement of colors and motifs. Drawing on the history of Kutani ware, Ishikawa combines established techniques in unexpected ways, creating a striking composition that rewards closer inspection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe blue, green, and purple enamels draw on \u003cem\u003eaote\u003c\/em\u003e, a style of overglaze decoration originating in ko-Kutani that traditionally excludes red. Ishikawa departs from this palette by introducing red in selected sections. Broad areas of \u003cem\u003ekinsai\u003c\/em\u003e (gold decoration) develop a network of cracks during firing, adding an irregular texture to the carefully defined forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Japanese character 福 (\u003cem\u003efuku\u003c\/em\u003e), meaning “good fortune,” stands out in gold against a red ground. Elsewhere, \u003cem\u003esayagata\u003c\/em\u003e, a continuous geometric pattern associated with longevity and prosperity, appears alongside plum blossoms and bamboo. Small fields of \u003cem\u003eaochibu\u003c\/em\u003e, tiny raised blue dots, introduce another decorative element among the richly colored sections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach panel brings a different visual rhythm, balancing the repetition of geometric forms with variations in color, texture, and decoration. The auspicious motifs also give the design a unifying theme, drawing on a traditional visual language of good fortune and longevity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kitano-Tojudo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588078338237,"sku":"ISHI-03","price":2216.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0553\/0461\/8173\/files\/261009_ISHI-03_SUZ.001.jpg?v=1792373275","url":"https:\/\/musubikiln.com\/es\/products\/ryusei-ishikawa-gold-auspicious-motifs-paneled-plant-pot-kutani","provider":"MUSUBI KILN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
