Fujiwara Kyosuke(b.1939) is the second son of Bizen LNT Fujiwara Kei (1899-1983) and thus the brother of also Bizen LNT Yu (1932-2001). Kyosuke was brought up in Bizen yet also fell hard for Mino wares and decided to make his own hybrid---such as Mino-Iga from the Momoyama period--and thus his orange pastel toned Bizen-Shino for which he's so well known for was born. Here is a fine example of his Bizen-Shino with the most delightful pastel pinks on the broad squat jar form; dating to 1980, in perfect condition with a signed box, 22.5cm.tall and 30cm.across, signed on base. Fujiwara opened his kiln in 1965 and has had the honor of being awarded the Kaneshige Toyo and Okayama Prefectural Culture Awards, as well as showing at major galleries throughout Japan.
