Fukagawa Seiji Arita Ware Calf Sparrow Wine Cup Dyed Porcelain Wine Stylish Souvenir Present Celebration

calf sparrow For Japanese people, the sparrows that play in the garden have been loved as the most familiar small birds. The animal motif ``Fukurajaku'', which lovingly depicts the appearance of a sparrow that inflates its wings in the cold season and traps warm air and curls up to protect itself from the cold, has long been used in crests and patterns. The parts of the sparrow are drawn in ink, the entire piece is dyed with Gosu, and then fired in a kiln, and the parts of the sparrow are whitened out using the ``Sumi Hajiki'' technique. It is glazed and fired at a high temperature of 1350 degrees to create Arita's unique bright and dignified dyed porcelain.
