Bizen's first Living National Treasure Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) is one of the most important Bizen potters of all time. Along with other first LNT's, such as Arakawa Toyozo and Nakazato Muan, Kaneshige researched and revived the ancient Momoyama Period ways of clay preparation, kiln building, kiln loading--a key aspect--and firing. The "tsuchi-aji" clay flavor of Toyo is unsurpassed on all his works, and it is he who made both the Kaneshige name, and moreover, Bizen, an integ ...click for details

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

Here is an early--circa 1970s--bluish-white porcelain-seihakuji jar by the one and only Fukami Sueharu--more about this very important Kyoto ceramic artist in our archives or at e-yakimono.net This is a rather important smaller jar as it points to Fukami's process of bringing a light edge to his works--there are four such relief lines--as well as bringing a more decorative accent to his jars as evidenced by the pointed nodes at the top of the jar. In perfect condition with a signed box, 21cm ...click for details

There is a rich reference to the decorative arts of the Meiji period on this calm persimmon-glazed jar by Inoue Haruo(1910-1975). Inoue was a highly awarded Kyoto potter who studied with Kiyomizu RokubeVI; he entered his first exhibition in 1932. After that the list is quite long and three times his works were presented to the emperor. This jar has a noble form, fine glazing and a quaint-simple drawing of a pear on the front. In perfect condition with a signed box, 20.5cm.tallx22.3, stamped on b ...click for details
