Here is something a little different that a customer ordered: Fude arai, or wells for washing brushes.
In this case, the customer wanted them divided into 3 sections, and wanted two places for placing brushes. As you can see, I’m into fish right now since my Korea trip, so I keep playing around, sticking them on the rims. I like to think they are happy fish. These particular fish are mutsugoro, or haze, or mudskippers I think, in English.
I love these water wells! I've been making brush rests–now I have to make one of these lovelies! The fist are wonderful, too!
Thanks! These were fun to make once I figured out how to do them. Getting to stick fish on them was icing on the cake. Just had to do it considering they'd be around water a lot. Water and mud for the mudskippers.
