The process begins with underglaze blue painting, followed by glazing and firing at 1,300°C; subsequently, traditional Arita overglaze enamels are applied, and the piece is fired again at 800°C. Because the piece is fired after the application of each color, the creation of a single work involves between four and ten separate firings. Originating around 1675, *Somenishiki* (specifically the *Iro-Nabeshima* style) was initially produced for castle furnishings and as presentation pieces for the Shogunate, feudal lords, and the Imperial Court. These techniques and traditions continue to be passed down to the present day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e*Sansui-ga* (Landscape Painting)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e*Sansui-ga* is a style of landscape painting that depicts nature with rich shading using only the varying tones of *gosu* (cobalt blue), a traditional Arita ware pigment. Originally introduced to Japan from China, this painting style was deeply embraced by the Japanese people and became integrated into Japanese culture; it was applied to fine arts and crafts, giving rise to a wide variety of uniquely Japanese works. These landscapes—featuring elements like deep mountains and flowing rivers—evoke a serene, profound, and mysterious world (*yūgen*) far removed from the worldly entanglements of everyday life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e*Karakusa* (Arabesque\/Scrolling Vine Pattern)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eThe *karakusa* pattern depicts the intertwining vines of plants. Arita ware features a diverse array of *karakusa* designs, including patterns that combine vines with flowers, leaves, or fruits—such as chrysanthemum, peony, and paulownia arabesques—as well as the \"octopus arabesque\" (*tako-karakusa*), named for its resemblance to the suction cups on an octopus's tentacles. Admired by all for its perfected beauty as a traditional motif, this pattern appears frequently on Arita and Imari ware. Because the scrolling vines extend endlessly in all directions without interruption, the *karakusa* is considered an auspicious traditional pattern symbolizing longevity and prosperity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eLimited Edition Products by Master Fujii Kinsai Arita Saga Japan.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eThe number of each production are very limited \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;\"\u003eand we sell only AAA+ (Finest quality item only).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: red; font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eVase Size \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eHeight 15.60 cm (6.142 \")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eDiameter 13.50 cm (5.315 \")\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"color: red; font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; font-size: 11pt;\"\u003eDelivery Time\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003eWe will ship your order within 10 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/1_b3d2d605-d2e8-4aa4-80d7-15154276cb18_2048x2048.jpg?v=1553924553\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/2_fe11ce48-81a2-4ff9-91e7-135784402ae7_2048x2048.jpg?v=1553924557\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/3_6b274231-48d5-4df2-9447-d320a5b39ed7_2048x2048.jpg?v=1553924560\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #3d85c6;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/files\/4_a2ccfaca-85cd-4813-af73-e5c6502d4901_2048x2048.jpg?v=1553924564\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fujii Kinsai","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":6726048771,"sku":"","price":760.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0670\/2217\/products\/1_675fadbd-cd0d-45ea-bac9-efcccb157d1c.jpg?v=1440841840","url":"https:\/\/www.teamwakon.com\/products\/fujii-kinsai-arita-japan-somenishiki-karakusa-wari-sansuiga-vase-free-shipping","provider":"Magnificent Items from Japan (Team Wakon Japan)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
