Ishii was a pioneer who infused Western glass crafts with a uniquely Japanese sensibility. He continues to fascinate collectors worldwide with his works that utilize a unique inclusion technique to trap colors and motifs within the glass, expressing the transparency and sense of suspension evocative of the deep sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe greatest appeal of this piece lies in its fantastical design, reminiscent of a jellyfish—Ishii's signature motif. Within the frosted, matte glass surface, gold leaf and colored glass particles are trapped like a life form drifting in the water. When light hits them, they reveal a delicate and brilliant expression evocative of tentacles glowing within a body. The curves formed by thin white glass lines resemble the trajectory of life emerging from the darkness of the deep sea, and combined with the soft texture unique to hand-blown glass, they create a depth that is truly one-of-a-kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIshii Koji is widely recognized for revolutionizing the Japanese packaging design industry with his 1985 silhouette bottle design for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko, but his true value resides in his one-of-a-kind artistic creations. His works are housed in major museums both in Japan and abroad, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Aomori Museum of Art. It is not uncommon for even small pieces to be valued around 80,000 yen, while his medium-to-large masterpieces often exceed 1 million yen. Since his sudden passing in 1996 at the age of 50, no new works have been produced, making a stately, large-scale beer mug like this one an extremely rare find.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe tall, dignified form, the substantial construction with a weighted base, and the meticulous finish of the rim all convey the artist's advanced skill and passion.

After returning to Japan, he garnered attention as a sculptor through exhibitions such as the \"Trends in Contemporary Art\" exhibition and became a member of the Sodeisha group in 1971. While possessing a background in the highest traditions of celadon techniques from the prestigious \"Miyanaga Tozan\" lineage, he developed organic and sculptural avant-garde forms that eliminated utility. By expressing the inherent vitality and tension of clay as a raw material, he powerfully embodied Sodeisha's vision of \"breaking away from the beauty of utility.\" He received the Kyoto Prefecture Order of Cultural Merit in 1998 and inherited the title of Miyanaga Tozan III in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eYanagihara Mutsuo (Born 1934)\u003c\/b\u003e A ceramic artist from Kochi Prefecture, he studied at the Kyoto City University of Arts and studied under \u003ca href=\"\/en\/search?q=%22%E5%AF%8C%E6%9C%AC%E6%86%B2%E5%90%89%22\u0026amp;type=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTomimoto Kenkichi\u003c\/a\u003e.

Through his experience living in the United States, he pursued a sculptural beauty endowed with an international sensibility, opening up a new horizon of the \"liberation of color\" for Sodeisha's avant-garde objects. He is one of the leading figures representing contemporary ceramics.

He joined Sodeisha in 1957. Since the 1980s, he has participated in both domestic and international exhibitions, receiving high acclaim for his avant-garde forms and glaze expressions. Excelling in sharp, architectural geometric compositions—as symbolized by this hand-blown glass piece—he transcended the very boundaries of clay as a material. Through a supreme conceptual expression that controlled the fluidity of fire and material, as well as the transmission of light and space, he embodied the pinnacle of the unique sculptural philosophy that Sodeisha aspired to achieve.

The malts from this period were made up of a high proportion of high-quality sherry cask malts, which were more abundant than today, and Mizunara oak cask malts, which define Yamazaki's individuality.

This pure malt (now known as a blended malt) is made using 100% malt whisky, a luxurious blend of Highland and Islay single malts, crafted by independent Edinburgh bottler Glen Talla Limited. It retains the rich, full-bodied flavor characteristic of the \"special cru\" era of the 1980s, setting it apart from current blends (malt + grain) with a depth that is impossible to replicate today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e The aroma is dominated by a rich malty flavor, testament to its 12 years of aging, and a rich sweetness reminiscent of ripe apricots.

When poured into a glass, the refreshing aroma of green apples and berries emerges, gradually evolving into a floral aroma as it comes into contact with the air, allowing you to enjoy the luxurious evolution that only an old bottle can offer.

Celebrating his 88th birthday (Beiju) in 2024, he remains a living legend of Hizen ceramics. This pair of vessels fuses the solemnity of traditional Oribe Karatsu with his original decorative aesthetic, creating a supreme work coveted by discerning craft collectors. The heart of this work is the Washizome (washi-dyeing) technique, which involves adhering thin washi paper to the bisque-fired surface to allow pigments to permeate. This creates a dreamlike gradation—as if the colors are seeping through the gaps in the fibers—that is impossible to achieve through direct brushwork. Eguchi has meticulously calculated the mineral components of the clay and the absorption rates of the pigments; while the indigo and brown floral petals possess the transparency of watercolors, the colors are permanently fused deep into the ceramic body through high-temperature firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe voluminous form, standing 8.5 cm high and 8.4 cm in diameter, represents the pinnacle of Eguchi's aesthetic, which reached its maturity around the late 1980s to early 1990s. This was the era when he won the Prime Minister's Award and his works were acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK. The delicate crazing (kannyu) covering the surface is a natural decoration born from the differing shrinkage rates of clay and glaze. When amber whisky is poured, these intricate patterns come into sharp focus through the liquid. The friction of the ice and the warmth of the hands cause the ceramic to exhibit subtle changes in expression, as if the vessel itself were breathing. This pair encapsulates the artisan's skill that earned him the honor of having his techniques officially recorded by the government and presenting his works to the Crown Prince and Prince Takamatsu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powerful carving of the base demonstrates the structural stability required to support his superb techniques, such as Washizome Kurinuki (hollow-carving), sublimating the rustic charm of Oribe Karatsu once beloved by tea masters into the ultimate modern drinking vessel.

Even after his passing in 1996, he continues to receive enthusiastic praise from collectors around the world. This work, a Hand-blown Glass Gold-decorated Sake Cup, embodies the refined aesthetics of Ishii's prime from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, making it truly worthy of being called a masterpiece for the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThe greatest appeal of Ishii's work lies in the tranquil and elegant texture of the frosted finish, evocative of the harsh winters of northern Japan. The lavish gold decoration that adorns the matte glass surface is more than just a superficial ornament; by contrasting it with the frosted texture, it exudes a profound brilliance that changes its expression depending on the angle of the light. Of particular note is the Musubi (knot) motif around the midsection. In Japanese culture, knots are considered sacred symbols that connect people and hearts. Expressing this in glass, which begins to harden the instant it is removed from the heat, requires extremely advanced craftsmanship. The way the glass curves, like unwavering brushstrokes, embrace the gold work is a true embodiment of Ishii's pursuit of the Japanese aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eFurthermore, the structure of a stemmed sake cup like this one is among the most difficult shapes to create in the field of glass art. During the hand-blown molding process, the thin stem is subjected to extreme thermal stress, often leading to breakage or distortion during the cooling stage. Completing such a piece requires extraordinary concentration and skilled technique. Ishii's signature engraved on the bottom is proof that it is an authentic work that has overcome this rigorous process and passed strict inspection. This sake cup, which has been carefully preserved along with its original box, goes beyond its function as a simple drinking vessel, conveying the passion and creative intensity that Ishii Koji poured into his glass every time it rests in the owner's hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduced by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ishii Glass Studio Co., Ltd.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ishii Koji (石井康治)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotable Activities:\u003c\/strong\u003e [1979] Work exhibited at Japan New Face II and purchased by Her Imperial Highness Princess Chichibu; [1985] Designed the silhouette bottle for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko and won a special prize at the Japan Package Design Competition; [1985] Won a special prize at the Seibu Crafts Grand Prize Exhibition; [1994] Held the solo exhibition Symphony of Light and Wind: GLASS Ishii Koji at the Narukawa Museum of Art in Hakone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMajor Collections:\u003c\/strong\u003e The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Aomori Museum of Art; Chiba Prefectural Museum of Art; Toyama Glass Art Museum; Hida Takayama Museum of Art; Narukawa Art Museum (Hakone-Lake Ashi).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Era:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late 1980s to mid-1990s (estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very good (no chips or cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original box and informational brochure included \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-blown glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height approx. 10cm, Diameter approx. 6cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even if the products we offer are brand new and unused, they are vintage items from an older production era and are listed as second-hand.

The spirit of ceramics as a pure art form that transcends mere utility—a philosophy inherited from his masters—is consistently reflected in his work through elegant aesthetic forms and the delicate layering of color. The emerald green hue achieved by Matsumoto in this piece is the result of a precise physical phenomenon. It requires controlling the iron oxide content in the glaze within an incredibly minute range of 0.1 to 0.3 percent while maintaining a perfectly constant reducing atmosphere in the kiln at high temperatures around 1,300 degrees Celsius. This technique represents a modern chemical redefinition of the celestial sky-blue (Ten-seisho) achieved by the Ru kilns of China's Song Dynasty. By intentionally inducing Rayleigh scattering—a phenomenon where light reflects off microscopic air bubbles and undissolved particles within the glaze layer—he creates a profound depth and transparency that industrial colorants cannot replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eIn terms of form, the stem of this Bajohai (stem cup) is an exercise in extreme craftsmanship. Due to the high shrinkage rate characteristic of porcelain clay, such a design is prone to warping or collapsing under its own weight during firing, resulting in an exceptionally low yield. Furthermore, the line-engraving (Senkoku) technique inherited from his master requires an extraordinary level of sensitivity. The artist must maneuver a needle with sub-millimeter precision during the brief window when the clay is semi-dry—an irreversible process where a single mistake is fatal to the piece. The fact that the deep celadon glaze is applied so evenly to such thin, exquisite porcelain while perfectly controlling the crackle pattern (Kanyu) serves as a testament to his absolute mastery of firing schedules, honed through his long tenure as a judge for the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eOwing to this overwhelming technical prowess and artistic dignity, Matsumoto twice won the Special Selection (Tokusen) award at the Nitten, Japan's most prestigious art exhibition, and later assumed key roles as a judge and councilor, leading the Japanese art world. His reputation extends internationally, with his work held in the permanent collection of the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas. The museum holds his work in high academic regard, utilizing it as a living educational resource for students and researchers to study the modern reinterpretation of Ru-ware celadon and the evolution of Kyoto porcelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eStanding approximately six centimeters tall, this diminutive stem cup embodies a celebratory prayer that transcends its function as a drinking vessel.

This blue, which marries classical Chinese beauty with 20th-century Kyoto sophistication, resonates deeply with the aesthetic sensibilities of those who appreciate high-end crystal like Baccarat or Lalique.

After completing his specialized education at the Department of Ceramics at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, he became a disciple of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/search?q=%22%E6%BF%B1%E7%94%B0%E5%BA%84%E5%8F%B8%22\u0026amp;type=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHamada Shoji\u003c\/a\u003e, the giant of the Mingei (Folk Crafts) movement, in 1946. For over 20 years in Mashiko, he refined his craft. Hamada described Shimaoka as possessing profound inner confidence yet remaining consciously modest in his public presentations, highly praising his unwavering dedication to his personal aesthetic and technical focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe primary reason for Shimaoka's global acclaim is his original Jomon Inlay technique. This process involves rolling braided cords into semi-dry clay to impress rope patterns, then meticulously inlaying the depressions with contrasting colored slips before scraping away the excess to reveal the design. Remarkably, the cords used to create these patterns were silk heritage pieces belonging to his father, a renowned Kumihimo master. The exceptionally fine texture of these silk cords imbues the vessels with a refined rhythm and elegance that stands in stark contrast to the ruggedness of ancient Jomon pottery. Although inlaying is an ancient technique, flawlessly controlling the shrinkage of the clay and preventing the delicate patterns from blurring during the carving process requires extraordinary mastery. The impeccable beauty of the patterns in Shimaoka’s work is a testament to his immense concentration and precise engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eThis set of inlaid cups is a masterpiece that lavishly incorporates both Jomon Inlay and the salt glaze (or soda glaze) technique that Shimaoka perfected in his final years. Salt glazing is an exceptional method where rock salt or soda ash is introduced directly into the kiln when temperatures peak at 1250 to 1300 degrees Celsius. The volatilized sodium reacts chemically with the silica in the clay, creating a signature orange-peel texture with a subtle, glassy luster. This process severely erodes the kiln itself, requiring a dedicated structure and the intuitive mastery of an expert to control the volatile color development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe defining brilliance of this work lies in its band-like composition, which allows two difficult techniques to coexist harmoniously in a single vessel. The upper section evokes the ancient stillness of Jomon Inlay, while the lower section showcases a vibrant, modern emerald green born from the soda glaze reaction. While Shimaoka’s work is often characterized by the soft, hazy textures his mentor Hamada likened to tsumugi or kasuri textiles, this high-contrast design reflects the sophisticated, modern aesthetic Shimaoka reached through his extensive international exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eWhile originally crafted as Yunomi (teacups), we propose a new way to experience this masterpiece: as the ultimate stage for savoring rare, discontinued vintage whiskies that have captured decades of time. Aged whisky is often described as drinkable perfume, and the slightly tapered rim of these cups is perfectly designed to concentrate the rising aromatic particles, directing them straight to the senses. Picking up the vessel and drawing it near creates a luxurious sanctuary for appreciating the rich bouquet of the spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003eThe intricate texture of the Jomon Inlay at your fingertips and the smooth, salt-glazed surface against your lips provide a tactile pleasure that elevates the profound depth of aged spirits.

When these two timelines converge, you are not merely drinking; you are engaging in a silent dialogue with the memories of a bygone era.

The main braided cords used in this work are relics from his father, who was a master kumihimo craftsman.

This mystical color is the result of a physical phenomenon achieved only by precisely controlling the iron oxide content in the glaze within a minute range of 0.1% to 0.3%, while maintaining a perfectly constant reducing atmosphere in the kiln at high temperatures around 1,300°C. This technique redefines the \"heavenly blue\" (Tianqing) of China’s legendary Song Dynasty Ru Ware through a modern chemical approach, intentionally inducing \"Rayleigh scattering.\" Light reflects off microscopic bubbles and undissolved particles within the glaze layer, creating a deep, internally luminous transparency that industrial pigments can never replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eIn terms of form, the elegant presence of the cups overcomes the high shrinkage rates inherent to porcelain clay. The \"line engraving technique\" inherited from his masters requires a sublime level of sensitivity, with the needle moving with sub-millimeter precision within the fleeting window when the clay is semi-dry—an irreversible process that allows for no error. The ability to evenly fix a deep celadon glaze on such thin, refined porcelain while perfectly controlling the crackle (kanyu) is a testament to Matsumoto's mastery of firing schedules, honed through his long tenure as a judge for the Nitten (Japan Fine Arts Exhibition).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eDue to his overwhelming technical prowess and artistic integrity, Matsumoto was twice awarded the \"Tokusen\" (Special Selection) at the Nitten, the most prestigious art exhibition in Japan, and later served in influential roles as a judge and council member. His reputation extends internationally, with works held in world-class institutions such as the Spencer Museum of Art (University of Kansas, USA), the Minneapolis Institute of Art (USA), and the Mary and Jackson Burke Foundation (New York). Notably, the Spencer Museum utilizes his work as \"living teaching material\" for the study of modern reinterpretations of Ru Ware and the evolution of porcelain in Kyoto, underscoring his profound academic value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eCrafted with the belief that \"a vessel is a sanctuary where the poured liquid and the user’s heart meet,\" these cups embody a celebratory prayer that transcends their function as drinking vessels. Blending classical Chinese aesthetics with the sophisticated modern expressionism of 20th-century Kyoto, this specific shade of \"Blue\" will provide exceptional satisfaction even to discerning collectors of high-end crystal glass such as Baccarat or Lalique. The moment amber whisky or clear sake is poured, the emerald green born from Rayleigh scattering resonates with the liquid, bringing a quiet dynamism to your table.

Ceramic sake cup #177","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe legendary Utsutsugawa ware, produced in Nagasaki during the mid-Edo period for only about 50 years, suddenly vanished. The solitary potter who revived this \"phantom pottery\" and elevated it to the realm of art was Yokoishi Gagyu XIII (1927-2016). This work is a masterpiece that vividly reflects the aesthetics of Yokoishi Gagyu's heyday, when he reigned as the leading figure in Utsutsugawa ware in both name and reality, and was designated a Nagasaki Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property holder in 1975.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e When discussing Jusandai's work, it is essential to mention his delicate shaping ability, surpassing even porcelain, by molding iron-rich red clay to the thinnest possible thickness. Despite being ceramic, the thinness of the clay produces a clear, metallic sound when struck with the fingers, and this is the reason why Genkawa ware was once praised as \"exquisite in the East, Genkawa in the West.\" Applied to this unique surface are the elegant \"hakeme\" (brush marks) that have become synonymous with Jusandai. Created by running a brush laden with white engobe clay over the base without a moment's hesitation, the patterns sometimes resemble raging waves and sometimes gently flowing clouds, visualizing the invisible flow of \"wind\" within the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e The design of the Japanese pampas grass depicted in this work is one of Jusandai's specialties, a motif that continues to fascinate enthusiasts around the world. The ears of Japanese pampas grass, blown by the wind and swaying in one direction like ocean waves, are not simply a realistic botanical illustration. They are a \"record of dynamic movement\" created through extreme concentration, with no redo possible, by \"raking\" the grass with a sharp bamboo spatula or similar tool in the mere seconds before the decorative clay dries completely. The scene woven by the brushstrokes and Japanese pampas grass in the background evokes the autumn wilderness, a quintessential Japanese landscape, while also possessing a meticulously calculated, abstract beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e For whisky lovers, this piece is sure to be the perfect conversational partner. The deep reddish-brown base, unique to Genkawa ware, brings out the amber color of aged single malt in a truly vibrant way, while the extremely thin rim guides the liquid's delicate aroma directly into the mouth. With the artist's passing in 2016, the supply of his personal creations, which embodied his keen sensibility and superb craftsmanship, has completely ceased. With a glorious history that includes numerous presentations to Emperor Showa and His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, this vessel embodies the \"beauty of obsession\" that one artist dedicated his life to reviving, it is more than just a sake vessel; it will become a special piece that reflects the pride of its owner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yokoishi Gagyu (十三代 横石臥牛) 13th (1927-2016)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe artist's notable achievements include:\u003c\/strong\u003e reviving the extinct \"Genkawa-yaki\" style.

As a living legend in the Hizen pottery world, his reputation is widely established. Celebrated his 88th birthday (Beiju) in 2024, this pair of glasses was crafted between the late 1980s and early 1990s, the absolute prime of his artistic career. These works are highly coveted by craft connoisseurs for the way they fuse the formal dignity of traditional Oribe Karatsu with his unique decorative aesthetic. The core of this work lies in the Washi-zome (Japanese paper dyeing) technique, where thin Washi paper is adhered to the bisque-fired surface to allow pigments to permeate through. This process creates a dreamlike gradation—a subtle seeping of color through the fibers—that is impossible to achieve with direct brushwork. Mr. Eguchi has meticulously calculated the interaction between clay composition and pigment absorption; the indigo and brown petals in these pieces possess a watercolor-like transparency, yet the colors are fired deep into the ceramic body. A particular highlight of this work's sculptural beauty is the lush, rounded body line that seems to cling to the palm of the hand. This unique silhouette is ideally designed for rare single malts or aged spirits, allowing the user to slowly swirl the glass to open up the complex aromas. Even with large ice cubes, the glass provides ample space for an elegant swirl, allowing one to enjoy the musical resonance of whisky and ice. This vessel is truly elevated to a supreme Ceramic Whisky Tumbler. The contrast between the substantial texture of the clay and the light floral patterns of the Washi-zome deepens significantly when filled with amber liquid, exuding the grandeur of the finest vessel for a modern lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eguchi Katsumi (江口勝美, Born 1936)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRepresentative Career:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1961 West Japan Crafts Exhibition Asahi Shimbun Award (Special Prize), 1962 National Prefectural Exhibition Selection Minister of Education Award, 1972 19th Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition Asahi Shimbun Award, 1979 5th Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition Excellence Award, 1981 26th Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition Japan Art Crafts Association Encouragement Award, 1983 West Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition Prime Minister's Award, 1985 Japan Ceramic Society Award.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum Collections:\u003c\/strong\u003e Saga Prefectural Museum, Saga Prefectural Kyushu Ceramic Cultural Museum, The Japan Foundation, etc.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1989 to early 1990s (Masterpiece from the artist's prime) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (no chips, no cracks)\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original wooden box, introductory leaflet (Shiori)\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic (Koyamaji Kiln \/ Oribe Karatsu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e [Large] Height approx. 8.7cm, Mouth diameter approx. 8cm, [Small] Height approx. 7.5cm, Mouth diameter approx. 7.7cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Even if the items we provide are new and unused, they are from a very old production period and are listed as used.

The leaflet that comes with it expresses the maker's wish to create vessels that bring a sense of ease when held and used, much as a children's song warms the heart, and describes an ongoing, patient effort, through trial and error, to make pottery glazed with ash from the mandarin oranges and bamboo of Kitsuki, a castle town rich in nature. The \"Nerikomi\" (marbled clay) and \"Inlay\" (Zogan) techniques featured in this work demand advanced skill. Nerikomi involves the meticulous layering of differently colored clays to create patterns within the cross-section; it is a high-risk process where the varying shrinkage rates of the clays often lead to cracking during firing, thus requiring exceptional skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eOur shop redefines this vessel, originally designed as a calligraphic \"Suiteki\" for dripping water drop by drop, as a \"Whisky Dropper\" for perfectly unlocking the aromas of rare aged spirits and single malts.

Born in 1932 in Okawachi-cho, Imari City, Saga Prefecture, his exceptional skills were recognized in 1998 when he was certified as a holder of Nabeshima celadon, an Important Intangible Cultural Property of Saga Prefecture. His works are collected and exhibited at prestigious institutions such as the British Museum, establishing an unshakeable reputation in the international art market as the pinnacle of porcelain symbolizing Oriental beauty. The greatest feature of Nabeshima celadon, which the Ogasawara family has preserved, lies in its luxurious use of finely crushed rare natural celadon raw stone, mined only in Okawachiyama, Imari, as its glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eThis piece embodies many of the technical characteristics for which Ogasawara Choshun is most highly regarded, but behind it lies an extremely difficult production process. What first catches the eye is the deep, moist color reminiscent of jade, but celadon glazes using natural stone are surprisingly sensitive to heat control. Mastering the reduction firing process, which limits oxygen in the kiln, is a formidable task; even a slight error can cause the color to turn a dull brownish-red, losing its original luster. Furthermore, to achieve the unique depth of Nabeshima celadon, the glaze is applied extremely thickly. This highly difficult technique carries a constant risk of the glaze flowing off during firing or cracking during cooling. The way the delicate line-engraved patterns beneath quietly emerge through this thick layer of glaze is truly a \"miracle scenery\" that can only be achieved by a certified master through strict temperature control and refined sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eAlthough this piece was created as a teabowl, its form incorporates exceptional ingenuity within the framework of traditional tea utensils. While its dimensions of approximately 11 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter are standard for a deep teabowl, what is particularly noteworthy is its original silhouette, which widens in two tiers from the body to the rim. This tiered shape is not only aesthetically pleasing but also demonstrates surprising functionality. The calculated two-stage widening dramatically improves finger grip, allowing for a remarkably stable hold with one hand despite its generous size. This unique aesthetic form provides a profound sense of security in the hand when repurposed as a Ceramic Whisky Tumbler for enjoying aged spirits.

In particular, his \"Yuri-kinsai\" (Underglaze Gold Foil) technique and his modern sublimation of traditional \"Aote\" (Deep Green-Blue style) into transparent color expressions are highly acclaimed in museum collections worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eWhile originally created as a water dropper for calligraphy, this piece possesses rare practicality and artistry in the modern era as a water dropper for enhancing the aroma of aged spirits and whisky. The rich verdigris glaze covering the work is the hallmark of Yoshida Katsuzan’s Aote lineage, featuring deep colors achieved through secret glaze recipes inherited from Tokuda Yasokichi I. The glaze layer is remarkably thick, possessing a jewel-like luster and transparency. The gold foil embedded deep within reflects light with a subtle elegance, serving as a testament to the flawless execution of the highly difficult Yuri-kinsai technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eThe large floral motif at the center is a peony, a favorite design of the artist, which radiates an overwhelming presence through realistic line-work and raised overglaze enamels.

The rounded, graceful form fits snugly in the palm, embodying functional beauty designed for precise, drop-by-drop dispensing. Since the artist's passing in 1999, no new works have been released from the Katsuzan Kiln.

This lineage inherited the unique official title of Hitachi-no-suke in the history of Arita ware and was the first in the ceramic world to be appointed as a Purveyor to the Imperial Household Ministry (now the Imperial Household Agency) during the Meiji era. The 14th Generation head had an unusual background for a ceramic artist, having graduated from the Sculpture Department of the Tokyo School of Fine Arts (now Tokyo University of the Arts). His masterful modeling skills brought a three-dimensional sculptural beauty to his works that transcends the boundaries of mere vessels. He elevated the traditional techniques of Kinri Goyo (items for the Imperial Family), which had continued since the Edo period, into the modern era, and for his achievements, he was awarded the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Gold Rays with Rosette (Fourth Class). His works are permanently preserved in major museums worldwide, including the British Museum and the National Crafts Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eIn this work, the fukizumi (blown ink) technique, the most highly acclaimed technical feature of the 14th Generation Tsuji Hitachi, and the three-dimensional modeling unique to a sculptor are perfectly fused. Fukizumi is a secret technique unique to the Tsuji family, in which gosu (blue pigment) is sprayed in a fine mist to express the haze of the night sky and deep gradations. The delicate blue particles seen on the surface of this work represent the pinnacle of this technique. Furthermore, its form, which depicts an auspicious bird reminiscent of a phoenix, is composed of flowing curves without any waste, boasting a sculptural perfection that conveys a sense of vital dynamism despite the hard material of porcelain. This contrast between the pure white porcelain, from which impurities have been removed to the utmost limit, and the deep, clear gosu is the authentic aesthetic of Tsuji Hitachi, which has been cherished by the Imperial Family for over 300 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eAlthough this water dropper was originally created as a calligraphy tool, its dignified presence and functionality make it an unparalleled high-end whisky dropper (water dispenser) for allowing the aroma of aged spirits or whisky to bloom in the modern day. The precise drop falling from the phoenix's beak possesses a dignity befitting the moment when a magical change is brought to the amber liquid during whisky tasting. Since the passing of the 14th Generation head, original works in the market—especially water droppers with such outstanding modeling—have become extremely rare.
