A dark, charred Vase dating from 1972 by Shimizu Yasutaka enclosed in the original signed wooden box. White rivulets seem to weep out from the igneous surface, scattering pell-mell over the rugged texture. Opposite the raw clay is barely visible, baked and spattered with natural ash glaze. The vase is 9 inches (23 cm) tall, 6-1/2 inches (16.5 cm) diameter and in fine condition, a rare early work by this important contemporary artist. Yasutaka was born into the pottery household of future Living National Treasure Shimizu Uichi in 1947. Although always involved in pottery, he began his official apprenticeship in the plastic arts under his fathers tutelage after graduating Ryukoku University in 1971. One year later his first piece was accepted in National competition at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition (Nihon Dento Kogeiten). The following year he was awarded the first of many awards at the second Kinki Area Nnihon Kogei Kai Exhibition. In 1975 he was accepted into the Nihon Togei Ten (National Ceramics Exhibition). He has a constant following in the world of Private exhibitions, and his work is held by Kyoto Prefecture. |
