| Description of works | 【Cranes live for a thousand years, turtles for ten thousand】 Haisen is a container for water used to rinse sake cups when drinking sake together. Many of them have flamboyantly designed interiors. For this piece, unkakumon (a crane and cloud pattern) is painted with tetsu-e (a paint technique that uses iron oxide-based pigment) on the interior, and designs of kikko-hishitsunagi (linked turtle shell and diamond-shaped patterns) on the exterior. The foot is decorated with unmon (a cloud pattern). Its hexagonal shape, mimicking the shape of a turtle shell, is another feature that makes this bowl an auspicious piece. |
