KASHIKO Kanazawa Kutani-yaki Versatile Card Set (6 pcs) - Kingfisher / Satomi Kawata

A versatile card featuring a Japanese kingfisher design by Kutani-yaki artist Satomi Kawata, depicting the kingfisher surrounded by roses, peonies, and chrysanthemums. Satomi Kawata is renowned for her "Hana-tsume" technique. In ceramics, "Hana-tsume" refers to a technique of filling the entire canvas with flowers, often outlined with gold or platinum to render the subtle variations in flower shading. As this effect cannot be replicated on paper, she has adapted it for this card using delicate lines to achieve a similar feel. The paper clips showcase the kingfisher in three different expressions, each conveying a distinct mood. The cards are crafted from Japanese washi paper, suitable for various writing instruments. The exterior box features the complete artwork, allowing it to serve as home decor once the cards are used. Contents: 6 cards (90mm x 50mm), 6 paper clips (35mm x 25mm) Packaging Dimensions: 95mm x 95mm x 13mm Weight: Approx. 30g Material: Paper Origin: Japan
