- Description
- Repeated black lines render the fine pattern of a branch of chrysanthemums covering the green surface. One is able to feel the softness and the depth of the lichen ground covering, on which lie a sprinkling of petals and leaves from the cherry tree above. As the hues change to dark blue, indeed, this has captured the impression of the stillness of a moment itself. Enough to make one think it might be modern art, this ceramic piece overflows with a fresh sense.
