| This magnificent hanaire is part of a series of four vases which I picked up at Unokawa Kazumasa’s kiln located near the historic city of Nara, Japan. Unokawa Kazumasa is a master potter, able to make one of the most orthodox and technically challenging wares: tenmoku chawan. At the same time he keeps a great sense of artistic balance by making pieces, such as this one, in which his creativity runs free and is in total harmony with his spirit. Born in Nara in 1952, Unokawa Kazumasa never had a mentor and let “the clay, the kiln, the fire and nature be his teachers”. As a true artist, he allows the clay to express itself through him and engages it in a creative dialogue from which are born heavenly gems. Unokawa Kazumasa says: “There are various faces and personalities in pottery, which I see. They reveal themselves to me as I carefully come face-to-face with them.” Unokawa-sensei regularly holds exhibitions in Osaka and Nara, among other Japanese cities. And he was even made an honorary citizen of Santa Cruz, after an exposition there, in 1988. The hanaire is signed and in perfect condition. It will be shipped in a signed box. Dimensions: 11 cm x 25 cm (4.4 in x 10 in), Weight: 1.6 kg (3.5 lbs) More pictures available on demand. | ||||||||||||
