A Kingfisher Resting on a Willow Branch

A Minimalist Composition with the Elegance of Japanese Art

Wakaba Mitani, a talented ceramic artist based in Fushimi, Kyoto, operates her own studio.

Renowned for her delicate overglaze painting, she brings a refined, graceful touch to traditional Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware ceramics.

This elegantly rounded tea cup fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, featuring a serene depiction of a kingfisher perched on a willow branch.

The simplicity of the composition highlights the artist’s technical mastery, with each delicate brushstroke bringing the design to life.

On the reverse side, a kingfisher is captured mid-flight, adding a sense of movement and storytelling.

The scene unfolds like a traditional Japanese painting, evoking a quiet, contemplative beauty.

Inside, the cup is adorned with a soft, flowing blue glaze, reminiscent of a gently rippling stream.

The combination of minimal colors and refined brushwork creates a harmonious and immersive visual experience within a single cup.
