Tumulus Period (AD 250-552) Clay Haniwa (Haniwa means “circle of clay”) forms were installed in the tumuli (burial mounds) that were
built throughout Japan from the Third to the Sixth centuries. The Haniwa
formed part of the rites used in sending off the dead. Today, these Haniwa,
made in the shape of buildings and possessions which do not exist now, and
also in the form of animals and even people, show us what things were like in
those times. This Japanese Haniwa of a
Woman’s Head is an important find that has the qualities museums and collectors of fine art look for. Head: 9 inches (23cm) high, Head with base: 13.5 inches (34.5cm) high. Unglazed clay.

A Spectacular Masterpiece Porcelain Vase by the Meiji Period Master, Gyokuzan (Chin Jukan XII). High relief decoration with an array of details of spectacular enamel glazes and wonderful raised images. A magnificent delight for the viewer. 18.25 inches (46.5cm) high x 30 inches (76cm) circumference. Several Chin Jukan XII (also known as Gyokuzan) pieces are in the holdings of the Museum of the Imperial Collections (Sannomaru Shozokan) in Tokyo, which only occasionally puts them on view for the general public. His pieces are also in the permanent collection of the Tokyo National Museum.
The Chin Jukan kiln is the only kiln in Miyama, Japan run by descendants of the original Korean potters brought to the Kagoshima area in September 1597. Chin Jukan XII (Gyokuzan) himself is widely credited for making Satsuma internationally famous.
In 1858, he was appointed head of the government factory at Nawashiro-gawa. The Lord of Satsuma gave Korean potters including the Chin family favorable treatment. Their pottery was continually refined and its technical base broadened under the patronage of Lord Shimazu’s family. When feudalism was abolished in 1868, the factory had to be closed. It was subsequently opened under the auspices of a company. Jukan was retained as the superintendent. In 1873, he sent a pair of large Satsuma flower vases to the International Exposition in Austria. They were highly praised and a campaign was started to introduce Satsuma pottery to America, Russia, Australia, and many other countries. In 1874, he set up his own company, assuming the art name Gyokuzan (also spelled Gyokusen or Giokozan). These were hard economic times. He employed indigent, destitute potters as assistants, and succeeded in reviving the manufacture of the celebrated Nishiki-de Satsuma faience, bringing financial and artistic success to himself and his community. His Naeshirogawa pottery studio is currently operated by Chin Jukan XV at Miyama in Kagoshima (Kyushu). Now, over 20 young apprentices from throughout Japan and Korea work there. There is presently a museum of Chin Jukan works in Miyama.

This vase by Kinkozan is truly one of the most richly and finely decorated examples of 19th Century Satsuma ware we have ever seen. It is a masterpiece by Kinkozan, recognized by many as the foremost of the Meiji Period 'Golden Age' Satsuma artists. All four sides bear gorgeous images that tell the story of Buddhism in Japan. One side portrays the first great patron of Buddhism in Japan, Shotoku Taishi, considered the reincarnation of the Goddess of Mercy, Kannon Bosatsu and closely associated with the founder of Zen Buddhism in Japan, Daruma Taishi, who we see portrayed on another side of this marvelous, historical vase. The other two sides are lovingly devoted to the Yoryu Kannon and Yokihi Kannon Bosatsu. 16 inches tall. Excellent Condition.
