Exquisite Representation of 'Saiun' in Every Detail

Utilizing a unique technique by Master Mauemon, this piece evolves the method that produces a ruby-colored hue called 'tansha' further. Against a deeply radiant ruby background, a subtle gradient from white to light blue-purple gradually intertwines, creating the impression of colorful clouds rising from the bottom. It splendidly captures the natural phenomenon of 'saiun' (clouds being dyed in various colors like a rainbow when passing near the sun).

Radiance of Genuine Gold Leaf

This piece employs the technique of decorating the 'rim part (the part where the mouth touches)' known as 'kinkabari' with genuine gold leaf. The unique design, framed by dazzling gold, showcases the captivating scenery of the fortunate madder cloud, making it an unparalleled and beautiful work of art.
