Morikin Arabesque Aochibu Gourd Shape Vase

Sale price$3,557.00 USD

Description

The Morikin Arabesque Aochibu Gourd Shape Vase expertly combines the techniques of morikin "raised gold" and aochibu "blue dots." Complemented by the morikin, this gourd-shaped vase stands as a tactile and visual marvel, adorned with an intricate arabesque pattern. Its surface is brought to life with delicate dots of blue, meticulously applied using an icchin, a dispenser with a fine tip, in a demonstration of unmatched dedication.

Traditional arabesque patterns, specifically known as tako karakusa, enrich the Kutani ware legacy with their unique charm and intricacy. The pattern resembles octopus tentacles, with leaves attached in a way that mimics the sprawling reach of an octopus's limbs. The continuous, uninterrupted growth of the plant vines in all directions symbolizes longevity and prosperity.

This dynamic visual rhythm, amplified by the aochibu dots and further enriched by the depth and texture of morikin gold, highlights Nakada Kingyoku's dedication to preserving traditional techniques while infusing them with a layer of profound cultural significance.
