辻昇楽さんのチョク
Sake cups made by Shogaku TSUJI
今日の一品は
辻昇楽さんのチョクです。
図柄は花火のようなイルミネーションのような不思議な印象の作品です。
どの色も鮮やかだけれど深みがあって、これぞ日本の色！と思えます。
中を覗くと、どこかの教会のステンドグラスを思わせる模様が。
手のひらサイズというよりも指先サイズのチョクは
お酒以外にも、お酒のつまみや薬味入れにも使えます。
〇辻昇楽さんについて

その当時の赤絵屋のうち現在も残っているのは辻家と今泉家だけだそうです。
辻昇楽さんは、器だけでなく上絵付用の絵の具も作っています。
2017年に国の選定保存技術保持者に認定され、

Today's item is a sake cup made by Shogaku TSUJI.
On the sake cup, there are some colored dots,
which look like a firework or some illumination.
The colored-dots are clear and deep.
That is the very Japanese colors, I think.
Looking inside the item, you can see some paintings which may be seen at churches.
This very small item can be used not only as a sake cup but also as a bowl for small dishes or some seasonings.
*About the TSUJI family
The family started in 17c when the Nabeshima clan set Akaemachi to gather artisans of red painting.
At that time, there were nearly 20 families who worked for the red painting,
however, now there are only 2 families left, the TSUJI family and the IMAISUMI family.
Mr. TSUJI were designated as a certified person of painting by the government in 2017
and he has devoted himself to keep treasures of old fine porcelain in Japan.
