cma-japanese-art: Dish with Weeping Cherry Tree, late 1800s, Cleveland Museum of Art: Japanese ArtThis dish depicts a cherry tree (sakuragi) whose flower-laden branches are the centerpiece while the sliver of a trunk and roots appear on the left edge. The sakura blossoms are delicately depicted in an iron-red overglaze. The flowers’ various positions (facing out and downward) and stages of maturity (bud and full bloom) enhance the naturalism and dynamism of the image.Size: Diameter: 15 cm (5 7/8 in.)Medium: Porcelain with underglaze blue and overglaze red enamel (Hizen ware, Nabeshima type)https://clevelandart.org/art/1963.97 -- source link
