A virtual textbook on Yohen firing effects. Tamadare, Shinshoku, koge and others decorate this spectacular tea bowl by Fukioka Shuhei enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Iga Chawan and named inside Shizanro (Fuka-yama Michi or Deep Mountain Path). This could be a reference to the five peaks which make up the rim, a traditional form codified in the mid Edo period by the Raku family of potters. It rests on a wari-kodai split foot, unusual for Iga-ware. Overhanging cliffs create a world of precipices and shadow on the surface, and create a space for the hands of the holder. This is a one of a kind work by this popular artist, and a superb example of his mastery of firing.
Size, D 13.7 cm ( 5.4 inches) H 8.8 cm ( 3.5 inches)
Condition, Excellent
Fujioka Shuhei was born in Ehime, on the Island of Shikoku in 1947. He went to Kyoto where he studied at Ritsumeikan University, graduating in 1970. After a stint at the Aichi Prefectural Ceramics Research Facility, he took up an apprenticeship with Tanimoto Mitsuo before establishing his own kiln in 1975, specializing in Iga ware. In line with his kiln in the mountains of Mie, he does not fight for place in the National Competitions, but relies on the intimate world of private galleries to display his work. That said his work selected from many collections, has been displayed in museums throughout the golobe and is held in many public and private collections, including the New Orleans Museum of Art.
