Nakamura Kimpei (b.1935) is a revolutionary ceramic potter who takes as much from his traditional upbringing in Kanazawa as he does from 1960s West Coast Pop-Funk art; his work is always innovative on some level and never boring, in fact he loves to challenge his audience and his students at the Tokyo art university where is a professor. A good article about Nakamura can be read in the Japan Times at search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/fa20060525a3.html This is a rare and important 1969 work that is ...click for details

Culture Day here in Japan, a national holiday. Many folks will visit friends and share a cup of tea; before tea a few tea sweets will be served and I can easily see those on this marbled Bizen plate by Wakimoto. It's 2cm.tallx22cm. and thus a perfect Tea sweets size; of course an array of cheese for wine would also be nice. In perfect condition, no box, signed on base. Other Wakimoto pieces to be seen in the coming days, including some very smooth bowls.

Just about the time Kakurezaki Ryuichi was breaking out and making a huge name for himself here in Japan--and later the world---he made this piece, that was 1990. It shows a keen sense of design and form combined with a classic Bizen firing; Kakurezaki deeply respects the masterpieces of old Bizen, yet feels no desire to replicate them; he creates Bizen that speaks to the here and now on a fine arts level. A museum piece in perfect condition with a signed box, 41.5cm.tallx26.8.18, signed on base ...click for details

Sakai Kobu(b.1936) was named a Toki City Intangible Cultural Property for his Shino wares; Toki is the birthplace of Shino in the 16th century. Sakai's Shino is not in any way shape or form utsushi-copies of 16th century masterpieces, yet take from the masterpieces of that time to create masterpieces for our time. Here are four very distinctive Sakai guinomi--only Sakai can create these forms and glazes--that are truly a joy to drink sake from, or simply gaze upon. Each in perfect condition ...click for details
