Such an elongated spout as seen on this Yoshikawa Masamichi chabin is more often than not used for pouring sake. Yet Yoshikawa has never been a predictable ceramic artist, his creativity is world recognized. This chabin ('tea bottle' tea pot) has 'straining' holes inside the piece and thus is a tea pot for fine sencha. Of course it can also be used to pour sake at a celebratory event, such as New Year's Day or a birthday. The balance of the overall form is excellent between t ...click for details

Ono Kotaro (b.1953), winner of the 4th Mashiko Ceramics Competition Hamada Shoji Prize, creates sleek, sharp porcelain wares. What is unique about this artist--besides being based in northern Hokkaido--is that his porcelain has two sides to its character: at first glance, his wares look crisp and cool. Yet at the same time, he has instilled in his works a delicate, warm glow that is not often found in porcelain wares. This trait can be seen especially in his Seihakuji (Bluish White Porcelain) an ...click for details

The form is a tightly-shaped gourd and the glazing is divine on this vase-tokkuri made by Living National Treasure Tokuda YasokichiIII when he was still known as Masahiko. Dark purples, yellow glow, shades of blues and greens all blend together to create a very prismatic work. The box has 'vase' written--one bud vase--and surely it will also make a wonderful tokkuri. In perfect condition with a signed box, stamped Kutani-Masahiko on base, 17cm.tall, dating to the early 1970s.

Yoshikawa Masamichi (b.1946 )has had a keen sense of design ever since his youth, and wished to become an interior designer until fate brought him to the ancient pottery center of Tokoname. It was the beauty within functionality, or the "yo-no-bi" aesthetic, that strongly inspired the then twenty-something Yoshikawa at Tokoname. Yoshikawa has developed into an imaginative creator of porcelain wares, while his name is now well known internationally as well as domestically. To name but a ...click for details
