The artwork named “Porcelain pot with open fan” is created by Katsushika Hokusai and belongs to the Ukiyo-e art movement. It falls under the genre of still life. The artwork presents a serene composition prominently featuring a porcelain pot adorned with intricate blue patterns at its upper edge. Inside the pot, there appears to be soil from which sprouts three small plants, one considerably taller and more developed than the others. Positioned in close proximity to the pot are two traditional open fans, one larger than the other, each delicately painted to exhibit subtle hues and shades. The larger fan, in particular, displays an elegant depiction of a mountain landscape with clouds, executed in restrained and harmonious tones. The overall aesthetic of the artwork deftly combines simplicity with subtle detailing, reflective of the refined and contemplative nature characteristic of the Ukiyo-e movement.
