The exterior is decorated with stylized maple leaf motifs in muted underglaze blue (gosu).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1193\" data-start=\"612\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eA particularly notable feature of this bowl is the \u003cstrong data-end=\"675\" data-start=\"663\"\u003efukizumi\u003c\/strong\u003e decoration. Fukizumi is a traditional Japanese ceramic decorating technique in which pigment such as gosu is blown or sprayed onto the surface rather than being applied only with a brush. This creates a soft mist-like, speckled, or clouded effect, with subtle variations in density and tone. In some examples, stencils or masks are used to create clearly defined motifs against the sprayed pigment. On this bowl, the blue-gray decoration has the soft and slightly diffused appearance characteristic of this technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1378\" data-start=\"1195\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe combination of the pale crackled glaze, darkened rim, and understated fukizumi decoration gives the bowl the distinctive character traditionally associated with Seto Karatsu ware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1558\" data-start=\"1380\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe rim has been traditionally restored using the Japanese kintsugi technique. The gold-colored repair has become part of the bowl’s history and adds an attractive visual accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1922\" data-start=\"1560\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThere is also a natural kiln deposit attached to the inner rim. In Japan, this type of firing deposit is sometimes referred to as \u003cstrong data-end=\"1706\" data-start=\"1690\"\u003e“kama-kuso.”\u003c\/strong\u003e It is formed when material from inside the kiln adheres to the vessel during firing and becomes fused to the glaze or body. This is an inherent characteristic of the original firing process rather than later damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2180\" data-start=\"1924\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe bowl has a low, neatly finished foot with visible concentric wheel marks. Its modest proportions, crackled glaze, fukizumi decoration, kiln effects, and old repair give it a strong wabi-sabi character suitable for use or display as a Japanese tea bowl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2287\" data-start=\"2182\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eHeight: 5.0 cm \/ 1.96 in\u003cbr data-end=\"2209\" data-start=\"2206\"\u003eWidth: 11.8 cm \/ 4.64 in\u003cbr data-end=\"2236\" data-start=\"2233\"\u003eDepth: 11.8 cm \/ 4.64 in\u003cbr data-end=\"2263\" data-start=\"2260\"\u003eWeight: 140 g \/ 0.30 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2474\" data-start=\"2289\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe item is in antique condition, showing signs of age and historical use.
