A torn opening and zen-like slash creates a dramatic pairing on this otherwise austere shape by Miwa Ryosaku (Miwa Kyusetsu XII) enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Kakehana-Ire (Hanging vase). This combination of static form and calligraphic movement, like a Zen Brushwork, gives off a strong sense of immediacy, a fleeting sense of the moment which is the essence of Ichigo Ichie at the heart of the Tea ceremony. As well it is this tension between tradition and artistic drama which is the subject of much discussion with regard to contemporary Japanese pottery. An excellent piece to encapsulate this subject and thus a great addition to any collection of modern Japanese Ceramics.
Size, D 9.9 cm ( 3.9 inches) H 16.1 cm ( 6.4 inches)
Condition, Excellent
Miwa Ryosaku was born the eldest son of the exalted family of Hagi Living National Treasure Miwa Kyusetsu XI in 1940. He graduated the Tokyo University of Fine Art Ceramic Department in 1966. Never just a tea-bowl maker, he opened his own kiln back in Hagi city in 1974, and escalated. Three years later he was awarded at the Florence International Ceramic Exposition. In 1989 he received the JCS award. He took the name Kusetsu XII in 2003, but this has not stopped him challenging the world with his outlandish sculptures and disparate talents.
