**“Soaring Cranes and Red Fuji” ? Decorative Plate**
A breathtaking fusion of gold, platinum, and iridescent foil brings to life a world of fantasy unlike any other. This masterpiece by Tatsur? Ono showcases an unparalleled originality within the realm of Arita ware. Ono's technique combines vivid glazes with delicately applied metal foils?most notably gold and other colored foils, which are the true essence of his artistry.
These color foils are created by repeatedly hammering base metals until they become wafer-thin?so delicate they could fly away with a breath. Each piece is carefully adhered using natural lacquer and then fired at a low temperature of around 200°C. The result is a work that demands extraordinary patience and craftsmanship.
Because each foil must be applied one by one by hand and cannot be layered all at once, multi-colored foil works are especially intricate and time-consuming. Furthermore, the natural lacquer must be at just the right stage of drying when the foil is applied, requiring precise timing and expert handling honed through years of experience.
This decorative plate features a majestic red Mount Fuji as the backdrop for a group of gracefully soaring cranes, all rendered in radiant gold, silver, and platinum hues. In Japanese tradition, the red Fuji symbolizes auspicious fortune, while cranes are revered symbols of longevity and blessing. The golden sky in the background captures the energy of a rising sun, expressing hope for new beginnings and prosperity.
The glimmering surface, adorned with foil and gold accents, reflects light beautifully and offers a different impression from every angle. This exquisite piece is ideal not only as a luxurious gift but also as a meaningful addition to your own interior to commemorate a special milestone. A vibrant, refined plate that embodies the elegance of Japanese tradition and auspicious symbolism.

[Message from the Artist]
At Kohzan Kiln, I have long been captivated by the brilliance of kinrande (gold-decorated ware). Over time, I began incorporating not only gold foil but also lesser-used materials such as platinum foil, jewel beetle (tamamushi) foil, blue shell foil, and iridescent foil. My goal is to "paint with foil" and bring out a beauty unlike any other. I hope to continue creating works that bring joy to many.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
