Inoue Taishu(b.1941) is a ceramic artist who should be recognized as a Living National Treasure for Shodai-yaki. As every worthy potting center needs a LNT, or simply a leader, without a doubt for Shodai-yaki it's Inoue-sensei. He first studied in Kyoto with Morino Kako (1959) and then studied at the Takemiya kiln(1960) with the first Chikashige Jitaro. A few years later he established his own kiln in Kumamoto in 1965 and then built a noborigama kiln at the base of Mt.Shodai in 1968. It's there ... Click for details

This jar could only have been made by one Mashiko potter; the bold paddled faceted form, the multi-glazing abstract glazing scheme and the just plain down-to-earth goodness all point to Murata Gen( 1904-1988). This is one of the smaller jars---standing at 20.5cm.tall--that we've ever offered in this form, very handsome for a desk. In perfect condition, signed on base, no box. Look for Murata yunomi and chawan next week.

Veteran Mino potter Kato Kenji's (1933-2008) specialty was his "toruko-ao" or Turkish Blue glaze and glossy 'citrus skin' black iron glazed works. After graduating from the Kyoto University of Fine Art, Kato apprenticed under Kyoto legend and Living National Treasure Tomimoto Kenkichi (1886-1963). After this apprenticeship, Kato embarked on an internationally successful career, including membership in I.A.C.

If you are familiar with 5th-12th century sueki wares then you'll recognize a bond between those early natural-ash glazed wares and the contemporary works of Nara-based ceramic artist Tsujimura Yui(b.1975). He 'studied' under his father Shiro and the same spirit within Shiro's works is to be found in Yui's works, as well as his younger brother Kai. This is a Yui jar fired on its side and it displays a lovely green-blue toned ash glaze as well as many 'scars' from the firing; all in all it has a b... Click for details
