Height (23.4cm) Width (17.4cm) Depth (12.8cm)

*Special exhibit at the Kanjiro Kawai Exhibition

The cinnabar is very well done, and although it does not have the floral designs often seen in Kanjiro's works, the brush strokes give a sense of Kanjiro's world even in the plain design, and it has a profound and elegant construction. It also expresses splendor, creating a fantastical atmosphere and a very beautiful landscape. It is a magnificent work by a master craftsman renowned as the poet of earth and fire.
