Iwao Yamakawa, Lid Rest, Kiri Karakusa Carved Design
Introducing the lid rest by Iwao Yamakawa, featuring a kiri (paulownia) and karakusa (arabesque) design.
A lid rest is a traditional tea ceremony utensil used to place the lid of the kettle or a ladle.
This lid rest is crafted from white clay, with the intricate kiri and karakusa patterns delicately drawn on the top using the “Icchin” technique. The patterns are accentuated with colors such as green and gold, creating a design that is both luxurious and elegant.
The “Icchin” technique involves placing clay glaze into a tubular bag and squeezing it out to create a line pattern, resulting in raised lines that are a distinctive feature of this style.
The contours of the design are three-dimensional, and the texture can be felt just by touching it, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship.
Additionally, multiple vertical notches are carved beneath the design, creating a relief with varying levels of depth and texture.
The top of the lid rest is slightly wider than the base, making it easier to place the kettle lid while also ensuring stability. This makes it a practical and user-friendly utensil.
The base has a simple cream-colored finish, offering a clean, refined aesthetic that complements its high-quality design.
Dimensions: Diameter 5.5 cm, Height 6 cm.
