Title:
Kuro Fukizumi Take Yunomi (teacup with black stenciled bamboo design)
Catalog Number:
ACC-88-10
Source:
Asian American Comparative Collection
Description:
This yunomi is decorated with fukizumi-stenciled black pigment that creates a bamboo stalk and several leaves. Hand painting and several ink resist lines are used to create small branches and veins in the bamboo leaves. The vessel also has a single reddish-brown band along the rim and a footring with a circular recess in the center that somewhat resembles a janome (bull's-eye or snake-eye recess) (Ross 2012:10). Although other forms of stenciling declined in the Taisho period, this type of airbrush-like fukizumi stenciling remained in use (Crueger et al. 2006:51,286; Ross 2009:155).
