In the mid-Edo period, it was used as a secondary motif to decorate the rims of plates or the shoulders of jars. Later, the area covered by karakusa expanded, and it came to be depicted across entire surfaces. This motif became popular in the 18th century. The delicate and elegant karakusa, featuring petals regularly arranged on swirling leaves, combines gentleness and strength. A glaze that vividly expresses the robustness of the vines is used, highlighting the beauty of the brushstrokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is crafted by Kisho Kiln, known for its expertise in \"reproducing Ko-Imari.\" Particularly noteworthy is their reproduction of \"Usu-Ruri Sosagi,\" which revives the elusive technique of \"thin lapis lazuli.\" This design is a modern reinterpretation of the pattern and texture of the \"Sometsuke Shirasagi-zu San-kyaku-zara\" (Blue and White Heron Tripod Dish), which is designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brush head is made by Chikuhodo, a world-renowned brush workshop. This luxurious shaving brush uses more badger hair than usual. When wet, the bristles become soft, providing a smooth feel against the skin. Furthermore, badger hair has a moderate firmness, allowing for a finer lather.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that individual products may vary slightly in color, painting texture, and weight. Additionally, some products may have small black spots (iron particles) or glaze drips on the surface, but these are not considered defects in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" class=\"product_table\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eProduct Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eQ01-03395\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eW3.5cm x L3.5cm x H13.4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eProduct Weight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e75g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eCapacity (full)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e-ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e[Handle] Porcelain [Bristles] Badger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003ePlace of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eJapan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 8.54688px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 8.54688px;\"\u003eMaker \/ Brand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 8.54688px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eKisho Kiln (Arita)\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e,\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eChikuhodo (Kumano)\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e／\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e QUSAVI\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 74px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 74px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 74px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr scope=\"row\" style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cth style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\n\u003ctd style=\"height: 22px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eInstruction manual included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"li1\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eComes with original gift\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e box\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"QUSAVI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14230474194989,"sku":"Q01-03395","price":33000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0762\/7929\/products\/Q01-03395-001.jpg?v=1588173738","url":"https:\/\/www.studio1156.com\/en\/products\/q01-03395","provider":"Studio1156","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
