Kashiko Kanazawa Kutani-ware Versatile Card Set of 6 - Striped Horse / Yasushi Yamachika

A versatile card featuring a striped horse motif, illustrated by Kutani-ware artist Yasushi Yamachika. It depicts a spirited striped horse, adorned with white and red stripes, galloping through a field. Born into a family renowned for Kutani-ware, Yasushi Yamachika grew up surrounded by this traditional Japanese porcelain. From the world painted with Kutani's five classic colors—red, green, purple, yellow, and blue—he absorbed the beauty of color and learned the techniques of free expression, creating a fantastical and unique worldview. Departing from the typical black and white, the artist uses the traditional Kutani-ware red to render the striking stripes of the horse as it dashes through the landscape. The paperclip is designed with the classic Japanese "Yoraku-mon" pattern, symbolizing the sun, which adds a delightful touch when paired with the striped horse motif. Crafted from Japanese Washi paper suitable for various writing instruments, the outer box presents a complete artwork. Once the cards are used, the box can serve as a charming piece of home decor. Contents: 6 cards (90mm × 50mm), 6 paper clips (35mm × 25mm) Packaging Size: 95mm × 95mm × 13mm Weight: Approximately 30g Material: Paper Origin: Japan
