Japanese Kiyomizu-style lucky cat with cochineal dragon design

Dimensions: Height 14.5cm , Width 9cm

Material: Porcelain

Product Description:

It's not the Rising Dragon Fist, it's not Dragon Ball 😌 It's a real, living dragon.

The painting is incredibly realistic; every outline and dragon pattern is lifelike.

Legends describe the dragon as capable of appearing and disappearing at will, of being small or large, short or long. It ascends to the heavens at the spring equinox and dives into the abyss at the autumn equinox, summoning wind and rain. These are later, more complex depictions of the dragon compared to its earliest forms.

The creatures found in ancient Chinese folk myths and legends, which appear in Chinese classics, cannot be found in reality, but the elements that make up their images are derived from reality and serve to ward off evil, avert disasters, and bring blessings.

⭐️⭐️Note: This item is brand new Kiyomizu-yaki lacquer⭐️⭐️ It uses a special process to apply a colored, textured lacquer that gives it a tactile, raised effect.

Made in Japan

Kiyomizu-yaki introduction

" Kyo-yaki " is a style of tea ceremony that originated in the early Edo period.

Kyoto pottery has primarily spread from the foothills of Higashiyama. On the other hand, " Kiyomizu-yaki " refers to pottery made at the entrance to Kiyomizu-dera Temple on Gojo-zaka. Currently, all pottery made in Kyoto is called " Kyo-yaki / Kiyomizu-yaki ".

This type of glaze, known as crystalline glaze, is characterized by the precipitation of crystals during the melting and cooling process. Beautiful flower-shaped crystalline vessels appear as if flowers have bloomed on their surface. Most importantly, the crystals grew larger and took on various shapes. Furthermore, no two designs can be made the same; each piece is a unique work of art.
