Kutani-yaki, made by Ako A vase with a beautiful blue gradation of sometsuke (blue and white) floral design. I think it's a vase that would also suit a Western-style room. It appears to be a work using the Fuki-zumi (blown ink) technique. This technique involves spraying ink to create shading and blurring effects, and this piece depicts leaves and flowers, possibly resembling hagi (Japanese bush clover). There is no original wooden box.
