It condenses two moments of transience: the falling of cherry blossoms in spring, and the drift of autumn leaves. On a tea bowl, this motif does not simply beautify the surface; it places the drinker inside a particular seasonal consciousness, a way of attending to time that is central to the aesthetics of the tea gathering. Tezuka Keiun's version combines both seasons simultaneously, a compositional choice that speaks of continuity rather than rupture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔍 DEEP-DIVE\u003cbr\u003eTezuka Keiun is associated with the decorative refinement that characterizes modern Kyo-yaki at its most controlled. The white ground employed here is not neutral — it is the ground against which the painted elements achieve their clarity, a deliberate choice in a tradition where ground color carries compositional weight. The gold linework tracing the water's movement and the polychrome blossoms reveal a practiced hand: the lines do not hesitate. The tomobako includes the artist's calligraphic inscription confirming the work's title and his seal mark, providing full provenance continuity for the collector.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e【日本語解説】\u003cbr\u003e手塚景雲による京焼抹茶碗。金彩と色絵で流水に桜と紅葉を描く「花筏」文様。白地に流麗な筆致で描かれた構図は景雲の装飾美の典型。高さ約7.6cm、幅約12.5cm。共箱付き、落款「景雲」明確。状態良好。\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e🔹 [ SHIPPING \u0026amp; PACKAGING ]\u003cbr\u003e• Dispatch: Within 1-6 business days\u003cbr\u003e• Carrier: Japan Post EMS \/ UPS (with tracking)\u003cbr\u003e• Packaging: Carefully wrapped with protective materials","brand":"The Modern Zen Archive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61626878132594,"sku":"260228_a_2161","price":677.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/5680\/3698\/files\/m68011212016_1.jpg?v=1772289135","url":"https:\/\/checkout.themodernzenarchive.com\/products\/tezuka-keiun-kyo-yaki-hanaikada-chawan-cherry-blossom-raft-tomobako","provider":"The Modern Zen Archive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
