Thank you for viewing. Human National Treasure, Mitsunari Suzuki, Celadon Ice Crack, Yunomi (teacup), 1 piece Celadon ice crack refers to the fine crack pattern (double crack, "kannyu") on the surface of celadon ware, resembling cracked ice. Among the celadon ware born in the Song Dynasty (10th-13th centuries) of China, ice crack patterns appeared accidentally. Since then, it has been widely loved as a traditional aesthetic, and today it is considered one of the designs that enhances the beauty of celadon. Color: This work has a grayish celadon color, with a calm and deep hue. The rim of the drinking spout is tightened with brown or dark-colored glaze, giving the entire vessel a sense of weight. The color appears to change depending on the reflection of light and the time of photography, but photos 1 and 4 show the closest colors. [Features and Value of the Product] The "gray celadon" color of this yunomi has a calm and deep glaze, and deeply conveys the essence of "wabi-sabi," the traditional Japanese aesthetic. This heavy and dignified color tends to be particularly appreciated among pottery enthusiasts. Also noteworthy is the way the cracks (surface cracks) appear. Unlike other bright celadon, it appears as a fine and complex "ice crack (hyouretsu)" scenery, harmonizing with the color of the glaze. The beauty of the natural cracks, which are not artificial, stands out, supporting its high artistic value. * Production year: There is a box inscription from the second year of Reiwa (2020). Due to its calm color, it can be used not only as a tea utensil but also as a sake vessel for Japanese sake, creating an elegant atmosphere without interfering with the color of the sake.
