This is a vase from the Gen'emon kiln, one of the "Three Great Uemon Kilns" of Arita-yaki. It features Gen'emon's warm and deep cherry blossoms, which soothe and calm the mind. It was passed down from my father, who said he intended to use it as a flower vase, but instead displayed it in the alcove and simply admired it. I believe it's a piece that "creates a slow and peaceful time" when you look at it. I think it's probably over 30 years old, but my sister says she remembers it being around for about 50 years (although it's now available in department stores and online, there were no such purchasing methods back then, and she seems to have bought it from a traveling merchant who came from Kyushu), so the exact age is unknown. It has been stored in a dark place since we moved about 10 years ago. Fortunately, due to the long storage period, there are no chips, cracks, or noticeable stains. The indentation on the back is covered with glaze, so I don't think it's a chip. The original box and writing are missing. Thank you for looking. Thank you in advance. Type...Hōbin/Vase
