Pattern as cosmology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSugita Shohei works from Kiyomizu Sannenzaka, the historic slope in Kyoto where overglaze enamel painting reached its heights. This bowl is an utsushi — a considered homage — to the Ninsei tradition of polychrome Kyo-yaki that defined Edo-period tea aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShippo-tsunagi, the linked seven-jewel lattice, runs in deep red and teal across the body. Panels open within it to reveal the Four Noble Plants: plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid. Each appears with restraint. The brushwork is fine without announcing itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA gold rim holds the composition. Gold accents thread through the enamel. The overall effect is formal without being cold — the warmth of Kyoto craft in full register.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSugita Shohei is a recognized master of Ninsei-style color painting. His work enters collections and tea rooms with equal ease.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: Approximately 12cm diameter × 8cm height (please confirm against images).\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good.\u003cbr\u003eIncludes: Tomobako.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA bowl that holds the entire vocabulary of Kyo-yaki tea culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ BASIC DETAILS ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dimensions: 12 cm diameter x 8 cm height (approx.)\u003cbr\u003e• Condition: Good condition.
