KV006 Oyama Shrine

K-Vase

Three-dimensional art to be placed on a table or desk for viewing.

When used to hold flowers, it also functions as a vase, revealing its true value.

Bottle mouth diameter: 6.5cm Bottle bottom diameter: 9.4cm

Height: 19.8cm

K-Vase is made of unglazed porcelain painted with acrylic paints.

Because the surface of the porcelain is rough, it firmly grips the acrylic paint, and the paint doesn't come off even when washed with water.

One could say that the vase was used as a canvas, but since the painting was done on a 360-degree three-dimensional surface rather than a flat one, the painting method naturally had to be different.

In other words, the screen layout is different from that of a flat surface.

Oyama Shrine in Kanazawa is a shrine dedicated to Lord Maeda Toshiie, the founder of the Kaga Domain, and his principal wife, Lady Omatsu.

The temple is famous for its gate, which blends Japanese, Chinese, and Western architectural styles, and the top floor is adorned with brightly colored stained glass known as "giyaman."

I depicted the front of the main gate and the shrine visible after passing through it.
