Art in the Palm of Your Hand

Dragon hide behind the clouds

"砂山"Sazan, a young and talented painter of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware, captures admiration with intricate detailing and monochromatic tones.

This sake cup, featuring the mythical "Cloud-Hidden Dragon" motif, blends Kyoto’s traditional pottery methods with modern artistic sensibilities.


The striking black base serves as a dramatic backdrop to the white and gold-silver dragon illustration, evoking the grandeur of a "琳派"Rinpa-style folding screen.

On the reverse side, a meticulously painted yōraku motif in gold and silver showcases Sazan’s steady hand and unparalleled precision.

While the design is rooted in classical patterns, Sazan’s unique interpretation brings a contemporary flair.

This is a timeless masterpiece, cherished across generations, embodying the pinnacle of Kyo-ware and Kiyomizu-ware craftsmanship.
