An organic form covered in thick emerald glaze Higashida Shigemasa and enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Oribe Jikiro.  The eclectic shape is rendered roma block of clay, hollowed and torn, like the ragged crags of Gifu, home of this pottery tradition.  Natural textures to bring out the depths of the oribe green, and electric shimmers of blue rush over the edges evoking the sense of water on the move.
Size, D 22.5 x 28.8 cm   H  18.2 cm

Higashida Shigemasa was born in Hiroshima in 1955, and garnered a BA from the Shimonoseki Municipal University in 1978. Looking for an alternate path, he entered the Gifu Prefectural Technical School Ceramic Course in Tajimi in 1984, graduating in 1986.  He established a studio in Tokyo, specializing in Shino and Oribe ware.  He has exhibited widely both domestic and abroad in Europe and the Americas.  Works by him are held in the Art Complex Museum Massachusetts, The Art Institute of Chicago, Ball State University Museum, Hamilton Art gallery and many others.
