The Nabeshima Asaba Sumi Danryu Water Pot Pattern Sometsuke Plate is painted using a technique called Sometsuke, which expresses different shades of cobalt-based blue paint (Gosu).

The hemp leaf pattern is expressed as a background with a sense of depth by applying it with the traditional technique of "Sumihajiki Technique".

The flowing water pattern, in which water flows out of a jar, is a representative design that has often been used in the expression of Nabeshima. The pattern of the pot is expressed in white porcelain with a cloud pattern, and it is designed as a design that makes use of the white porcelain part.

In the Edo period, it is a representative design that is very popular among Nabeshima fans as an excellent design even at that time.

The aesthetic beauty of Nabeshima ware has been carefully preserved as a traditional rule since the Edo period, and the design is composed of one color of dyeing (blue) and three colors of red painting (red, yellow, green).

The extremely fine and carefully drawn lines are expressed with pale gradations layered over and over again, creating a dignified dignity.

The traditional Nabeshima pattern that was presented as a gift is a gorgeous design that allows you to feel the elegance of ancient Japan.
