Kutani-yaki incense burner "Uzuuchi Aotsubu Karakusa" This appears to be a work in the "Morikin Aotsubu style," one of the representative painting styles of Kutani-yaki. It combines the "Morikin technique," which involves raising patterns with special paints and applying gold mud on top, and the "Aotsubu technique," which uses Itchin to draw with blue paints. In particular, works of "Uzuuchi Aotsubu" by artists such as the second-generation Nakada Kingyoku and the third-generation Nakada Kingyoku are characterized by the size, color, and even spacing of the granules, as well as their three-dimensional effect, demonstrating a high level of skill. This is a Buddhist altar fitting used for burning incense or joss sticks, and it can also be expected to have a relaxing effect. It is a blue ceramic spherical container with a gold floral pattern. It was used for a short time, so I cleaned the inside, and it became quite clean. There are no noticeable flaws, and I think it is in beautiful condition overall. I will also include a round incense holder that can be used inside. - Color: Blue - Decoration: Gold floral pattern - Shape: Spherical - Material: Ceramic - Lid: Yes
