Illustrated is a rather
large seihakuji covered box by Kubota Atsuko with an overall design of
strawberries and foliage wrapped around the exterior of the surface. This
wonderful cool blue form was exhibited and illustrated in one of her major
exhibitions a while back and is a classic piece showing her mastery of
porcelain, her applique technique and her use of celadon glazes for which she
is know worldwide. The meticulous raised surface adorns this perfectly crafted
box and is completed with a glaze that brings the entire piece together and
presents a slightly otherworldly glimpse in three dimensions. Though Kubota is
probably best known for her large, intricate platters, this condensed,
dimensional form clearly shows off the best of her oeuvre and has the added
benefits of being far easy to store, display and use and I have to admit, this
piece is far more intimate and personal that what I was used to seeing which is
honestly is my preference.https://www.trocadero.com/stores/albedo3studio/items/1499000/ILLUSTRATED-EXHIBITED-SEIJI-COVERED-BOX-BY-KUBOTA-ATSUKO
