Yamada Hikaru (1924-2001) was a founding member of the extremely influential avant-garde ceramic group Sodeisha along with Yagi Kazuo and Suzuki Osamu in the late 1940s. They brought about a sea change in Japanese ceramics, and it is not an understatement to say that many contemporary potters have been influenced in one way or another by the Sodeisha group. In their latter years the members also took to making functional wares. This kohiki-white powder slip--chawan made by Yamada dates to 1967 a ...click for details

Mushiake pottery is a relatively obscure style fired in Okayama prefecture, the same area as Bizen. It began in the Edo period to service the tea needs of Lord Ikeda. After losing feudal patronage in the Meiji period there was a decline in the output and even stretches where there were no kilns being fired at all.

The reason I selected this chawan by Living National Treasure Shimaoka Tatsuzo is for a few reasons, one of which is the rare age, others include the fine/sturdy form, a very 'jimi' quiet strength temperament, craftsman 'bamboo node' foot, and last, but not least, is the clarity of the jomon rope pattern, for which Shimaoka was designated a LNT for. Tea will look great inside as well. In perfect condition with a signed box, circa 1974, 10.1cm.tallx12.5, stamped on base, a museu ...click for details
