This is a work by Kawai Kanjiro, a master of folk art. Alongside Yanagi Soetsu, he was a great pioneer of the folk art movement, and embodied the "beauty of utility" through bold shapes and original floral designs. The renowned ceramicist Kawai Kanjiro (1890-1966) was active not only in Japan, but also around the world, winning the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exposition and the Milan Triennale. This "Cinnabar Tube Painted Flower Bowl" has a truly impressive presence and is an outstanding piece of work. In addition to the beautiful and vivid colors of the cinnabar, the large floral patterns painted in tube painting have the dynamism that is unique to Kanjiro, making this a superb item that will leave you intoxicated with its bold and original appearance.
