  • h: 30.3cm md: 13.3cm bd: 13.8cm
  • Gift of Akiyama Jun’ichi

This jar has underglaze blue linear designs of various flowering plants. Large areas of blank space are left in reserve, and gentle movement of the petals and leaves of the linear design evoke a sense of the silent space surrounding each motif.
