Ishii was a pioneer who infused Western glass crafts with a uniquely Japanese sensibility. Ishii continues to fascinate collectors worldwide with 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 the 1985 silhouette bottle design for Sanwa Shurui's Iichiko, but Ishii's true value resides in one-of-a-kind artistic creations. Ishii's 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 the artist's medium-to-large masterpieces often exceed 1 million yen.

The ethereal gradients that seep through the gaps in the fibers, a result impossible to achieve with a direct brushstroke, give the viewer a sense of watercolor-like transparency.

When golden beer is poured, the delicate \"kannu\" (crazing) on the surface emerges as a vivid \"scenery\" in contrast with the liquid.

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 Yokoishi's personal creations, which embodied 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 a lifetime 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 \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maker-yokoishi-gagyu-xiii\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eYokoishi Gagyu\u003c\/a\u003e (十三代 横石臥牛) 13th (1925–2016)\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.

Yoshimoto was recognized as a holder of Okayama Prefecture's designated Important Intangible Cultural Property in 2007 and was also selected as an honorary citizen of Bizen City in 2025, making the artist a truly representative artist of the Bizen ware world in both name and reality. Yoshimoto's works are housed in major museums worldwide, including the Sèvres National Ceramic Museum in France, establishing an international reputation for the artist. This piece is a condensation of Yoshimoto's exceptional skills, featuring the bold forms inherited from the artist's mentor, alongside the refined order achieved through Yoshimoto's signature tatara (slab-building) and hand-shaping techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe most striking feature of this work is the vivid hidasuki pattern that adorns its surface. Hidasuki is a traditional Bizen ware decorative technique where rice straw is wrapped around the vessel before firing; the interaction between the flames and the clay causes vibrant scarlet streaks to emerge on the surface. As seen in the accompanying images, dynamic red lines, as if meticulously planned, run across the rustic brown surface of the natural clay, revealing a beauty that seems to imprison the memory of fire within the static vessel. Furthermore, the tactile quality of the hand-formed texture, reminiscent of the tatara technique that led to Yoshimoto receiving the Okayama Prefectural Cultural Encouragement Award, provides a feeling that adheres to the palm and a pleasant sense of weight. This is a direct manifestation of the artist's thoughts in Yoshimoto's fingertips, something mass-produced items can never replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003eOur shop suggests this vessel, originally crafted for enjoying beer, as a special sake cup for savoring amber-colored aged sake or matured Japanese whisky. Bizen ware, fired for extended periods at temperatures exceeding 1200 degrees Celsius without glaze, contains minute pores. These pores are said to interact with the components in liquids, mellowing their flavor. When whisky is poured, the scarlet of the hidasuki resonates with the golden hue of the liquid, and the rough texture of the clay visually and tactilely softens the alcohol's bite, offering an ultimate tasting experience that allows for a deeper and more contemplative enjoyment of the aged aroma born from the accumulation of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eWhile the works of holders of Okayama Prefecture's Important Intangible Cultural Property are firmly established as art objects in Japan due to their rarity and technical foundation, information regarding the background of such artists and precise explanations of their techniques is often scarce in overseas markets. Therefore, a piece of exceptionally high quality like this one is highly prized. This work, imbued with the soul of Yoshimoto Tadashi, who trained for 19 years under the great Living National Treasure Kei Fujiwara, preserving tradition while continuously pursuing refinement that blends with modern spaces, will transcend the realm of mere tools and become a bridge connecting the joy of ownership with history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/makers#ceramic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eYoshimoto Tadashi\u003c\/a\u003e (吉本正, 1943–)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Major Activities: \u003c\/strong\u003e[From 1964] Apprenticed under Living National Treasure Kei Fujiwara (19 years) [1975] Became independent, [1986] Received Okayama Prefectural Cultural Encouragement Award, [1988] Received Kaneshige Toyo Award, [2007] Recognized as a holder of Okayama Prefecture's Designated Important Intangible Cultural Property \"Bizen Ware Production Techniques,\" [2025] Selected as an Honorary Citizen of Bizen City.

It is characterized by its dignified style, which brings a comfortable weight to the palm of the hand. We propose this work as premium ceramic rock cups for enjoying Japan's excellent traditional crafts in a modern luxurious lifestyle. It is of the highest value as a vessel for slowly savoring rare aged sake that has transformed into a deep amber color over many years, exuding a rich aroma and mellow depth, or carefully selected whisky with ice. The time spent enjoying the finest sake in these vessels, which possess an overwhelming dignity as works of art, will be a luxurious experience for entertaining international collectors and special guests with the highest Japanese hospitality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eThe artist, Kawai Toru, was born in Kyoto City in 1941 and is a master of contemporary Mingei pottery who continues to create vigorously today. Kawai Toru was born into the pure lineage of Mingei, as the nephew of Kawai Kanjiro, who established unique aesthetics from the Taisho to Showa eras, and the eldest son of \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/273\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKawai Takeichi\u003c\/a\u003e, who supported Kanjiro's pottery production as a right-hand man for approximately 40 years. After studying pottery in the art department of Kyoto City Hiyoshigaoka High School, the artist began a full-fledged pottery career in 1962 under the guidance of Kawai Toru's father, Takeichi, and at the same time received direct instruction in technique and spirit from the late Kawai Kanjiro in Kanjiro's final years. As a noteworthy fact in the art market, Kawai Toru has no record of receiving any public awards or national titles from exhibitions such as the Nitten or the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition. This unique stance, independent of authority, is because Kawai Toru has completely inherited, along with Toru's father Takeichi, the noble spirit of Kawai Toru's great-uncle Kawai Kanjiro, who declined all public honors, including \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/living-national-treasures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eLiving National Treasure\u003c\/a\u003e and the Order of Culture, and upheld the beauty of anonymity—the beauty of nameless artisans—as a master without rank. This stance independent of authority is the ultimate proof of the artist's genuine Mingei lineage, and Kawai Toru's noble pedigree is highly sought after by museums and enthusiastic Mingei connoisseurs both domestically and internationally, and is included in the collections of prestigious museums such as the Asahi Group Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art and the ZENBI -Kagizen Art Museum-. We proudly offer this rare work by a top-class Japanese artist, about whom there is almost no information overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eWhat makes Kawai Toru's pottery highly specialized is the artist's thorough commitment to traditional techniques. The artist never uses an electric potter's wheel, instead forming Kawai Toru's pieces using a traditional kick wheel, which allows the rhythm of the human body to be directly transmitted to the clay. This imbues the vessels with a non-mechanical warmth, subtle undulations, and a strong skeletal structure. Furthermore, they are fired rapidly by the intense flames of firewood in the Nantan kiln, a traditional climbing kiln Kawai Toru built in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture, in 1976. The artist has authentically inherited the vast glaze recipes left by Kawai Toru's great-uncle Kanjiro and possesses exceptional skill in freely controlling traditional Mingei glazes such as deep blue Gosu, vibrant red Shinsha, iron glaze, amber glaze, and ash glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eA detailed examination of this work reveals that these exceptional techniques and the artist's raw sensibility are expressed with overwhelming power down to the smallest details of the two beer mugs. The true essence of this work, the faceted design, is created when the thick clay body, formed on the potter's wheel, is in an extremely delicate semi-dry state, and the artist swiftly and roughly shaves it vertically with an unwavering stroke of the knife. The sharpness of the edges of the shaved surfaces and the bold undulations that appear when the clay is removed create a dramatic contrast of sculptural shadows when illuminated, while also providing an excellent grip for the fingertips when holding the large mugs. The color contrast between the two mugs is also very dramatic; one mug is coated with a deep, lustrous black-brown iron glaze or amber glaze, almost like jet black, on which iron-rust colored kiln changes and crystalline spots, brought about by the intense flames of the climbing kiln, are powerfully baked as if they were splashes of Earth's magma. The other mug features a warm, rustic clay surface as its base, with bold iron paintings drawn with an unwavering brushstroke, and the delicate, bluish, glassy pooling of flowing ash glaze lends a fresh moisture to the rugged expression of the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003eFurthermore, the texture of the robust handle, condensed with the power of handcraftsmanship, also exudes a special presence. Regarding this handle portion, there is a linear pattern on one of the mugs, extending from the inside to the surface of the handle, which at first glance may appear to be a crack. However, this is a crackle pattern in the glaze called kannyu (natural glaze crazing), unique to ceramics. There are no snags or steps on the surface, and since it is formed within the glassy glaze layer, the surface texture is extremely smooth, just like other areas, and has absolutely no impact on its strength or practicality during use. This is a natural testament to the clay and glaze breathing together at the moment of rapid cooling in the climbing kiln, and as a unique landscape inherent in handcrafted works, it is a point to be cherished deeply and for a long time, including this part, while pouring the finest aged sake. The bottom of the vessel is engraved with the workshop mark indicating that it is an authentic work from the Kawai studio, and it comes complete with its dedicated tomobako (original wooden box signed by the artist), wrapping cloth, and an official brochure. It is in excellent condition without any chips or cracks, and is a valuable item as a supreme Japanese craft piece that is extremely difficult to obtain overseas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/makers#ceramic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eKawai Toru\u003c\/a\u003e (河井透, 1941–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"34\"\u003eArtist's Notable Career:\u003c\/b\u003e [1962] Began a pottery career under Kawai Toru's father, Kawai Takeichi, and received direct instruction from the late Kawai Kanjiro; [1970] Moved Kawai Toru's studio to Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City; [1976] Built Nantan Kiln, a traditional climbing kiln, in Kameoka City, Kyoto Prefecture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"333\"\u003eWorks in Collection:\u003c\/b\u003e Asahi Group Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art, ZENBI - Kagizen Art Museum, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"430\"\u003eProduction Period:\u003c\/b\u003e 2000s-2010s (estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"473\"\u003eProduct Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e Very Good (no chips, no cracks, no surface cracks, \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eplease note the characteristic crackle glaze\u003c\/span\u003e)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"564\"\u003eBox:\u003c\/b\u003e Dedicated tomobako (wooden box) included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"610\"\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/b\u003e Ceramic (Iron glaze, Ash glaze, Iron painting)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"667\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height approx. 11.8 cm, Mouth diameter approx. 8.0 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"733\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Even if the products offered by our store are new and unused, they are from a very old production period and are all listed as used items.

They redefined clay not merely as a material for vessels but as a medium for pure self-expression, giving birth to a completely new genre of art: objet ceramics, the first of its kind in Japan. Sodeisha subsequently led the forefront of Japan's contemporary art scene for half a century, and with its 50th exhibition in 1998, it dissolved amicably, having fully fulfilled its historic mission of elevating ceramics to contemporary art within the art world. Amidst this tumultuous movement, Suzuki preferred to use the term \"deisho\" (mud-form) for Suzuki's own works, meaning to manifest the form of the world through clay (mud), rather than simply calling them \"objects.\" Suzuki continued to pursue unique, poetic forms by deforming and deconstructing Suzuki's superb potting wheel techniques. By 1999, the artist's global status was firmly established, as evidenced by a large-scale retrospective exhibition held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe distinctive face-shaped motif that dominates the front of this work perfectly embodies Suzuki's lifelong pursuit of reverence for nature and a return to primitive art. The eyes and nose carved into this circular bas-relief, along with the continuous spiral patterns arranged at the bottom, personify the life force of great nature, such as the sun and wind, with Suzuki's unique poetic humor, imbuing the modern vessel with the pure magical energy of Jomon clay figurines and ancient masks. The surface of the vessel intentionally exposes a powerful, clay texture like Mikage clay containing coarse particles, over which a thin layer of feldspar glaze with a pale greenish-gray tint is applied. This masterfully merges the organic warmth of the clay with the sparkling beauty of the finely appearing crazing (fine crack patterns) on the surface. Furthermore, at the bottom edge of the vessel, a vibrant reddish \"hi-iro\" (fire color) has emerged, a result of the chemical reaction between the edge of the glaze and the unglazed body caused by the intense flames of the climbing kiln, thus encapsulating the dramatic moment when fire and earth became one within the vessel. At the base of the handle, Suzuki's circular \"治\" (Osamu) seal is clearly impressed, confirming its authenticity. The handwritten signature and seal on the lid of the wooden box, along with the official ceramic history (bookmark) from Yodo Gallery in Osaka, which conveys the atmosphere of the artist's solo exhibitions at the time, are perfectly preserved. This is a supreme piece in excellent condition, condensing the artist's lifelong artistry, where Suzuki's object philosophy (Deisho) admirably returns to its origin as a functional vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maker-suzuki-osamu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSuzuki Osamu\u003c\/a\u003e (鈴木治, 1926–2001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist's Major Career History\u003c\/b\u003e: [1926] Born in Kyoto as the third son of master potter Suzuki Ugenji, [1948] Formed the avant-garde ceramic art group \"Sodeisha\" with Yagi Kazuo and Yamada Hikaru, holding their first exhibition, [1961] Received the Japan Ceramic Society Award, [1962] Won a Gold Medal at the Prague International Ceramics Exhibition, [1968] Appointed Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Osaka University of Arts, [1970] Won a Gold Medal at the Vallauris International Ceramics Biennale and invited to exhibit at \"Contemporary Ceramics - Europe and Japan\" organized by the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, [1971] Won the Minister of International Trade and Industry Award at the Faenza International Ceramics Exhibition and invited to exhibit at the Japan Ceramics Exhibition (subsequently exhibiting every time), invited to exhibit at \"Contemporary Ceramics - America, Canada, Mexico and Japan\" exhibition organized by the National Museums of Modern Art, Kyoto and Tokyo, [1975] Exhibited at \"International Ceramics Exhibition '75\", [1979] Exhibited at \"Art Now '79\", [1999] A large-scale retrospective exhibition \"Poetic Objects: Suzuki Osamu's Ceramics\" was held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, [2001] Passed away at the age of 73\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMuseum Collections\u003c\/b\u003e: Permanently housed in public collections of major modern art museums around the world, including The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCirca:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1955 (Presumed identical or same-series works are currently in the collection of institutions such as The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/b\u003e: Original wooden box, wrapping cloth, official ceramic history (bookmark) issued by Yodo Gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e: Pottery (feldspar glaze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: Approx. 9.0 cm diameter, approx. 9.5 cm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNote\u003c\/b\u003e: Even if the products offered by our shop are new and unused, they are from a very old production period and are all listed as used items.

The artist, Yamada Hikaru, grew up immersed in pottery making from an early age under Yamada Hikaru's father, the ceramic artist Yamada Tetsu, and acquired professional expertise in the Ceramics Department of the Kyoto Higher School of Crafts (currently Kyoto Institute of Technology). The artist is one of the most vital artists who liberated ceramics from the conventional \"beauty of utility\" and established the genre of objet ceramics as pure artistic creation in Japan. Throughout Yamada Hikaru's life, the artist was awarded the Japan Ceramic Society Award (and later its Gold Prize), recognized as a Kyoto City Person of Cultural Merit, and received the Kyoto Art and Culture Award. The artist's works are extensively housed in major museums both within Japan and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eOur shop proposes this precious coffee cup and saucer, left behind by this leading figure of avant-garde ceramics, not merely as a coffee cup, but as a special Japanese Kogei sake vessel tailored for slowly savoring the highest quality Japanese whisky or aged sake that has deepened with time. The mug-shaped design, featuring a slightly smaller size, possesses an ample presence to thoroughly enjoy the rich aroma of aged sake right in your hand. Furthermore, the soft white tone of the Kohiki glaze that envelops the entire vessel vividly highlights the beautiful amber gradation of whisky, maximizing its visual allure. The entire surface of the vessel exhibits a fine, beautiful crazing that is evenly distributed without being overly assertive, forming a profound expression nurtured by time. In addition, the authentic pottery mark of the character \"Hikaru\" is clearly discernible at the base of the cup's handle and on the reverse side of the saucer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eThe greatest highlight of this work lies in the exceptional integration of Yamada Hikaru's signature avant-garde objet-making philosophy into a practical vessel. While Yamada Hikaru focused primarily on the production of one-of-a-kind objets, the artist also possessed a profound passion for craft design, establishing \"Mon Kobo\" in the 1960s to pursue modern design in everyday vessels. In contrast to the cup body, which features an organic, soft distortion born of hand-molding, the handle is joined with a linear, architectural geometric structure, demonstrating an intellectual form that controls the properties of clay with peak technical mastery. The dark brown iron-painted dotted line pattern running vertically on the front elevates the design into a sophisticated graphic statement reminiscent of Mid-Century Modernism and abstract painting. Furthermore, the circular exposed clay area at the base of the cup can be analyzed as a uniquely conceptual expression by the artist, visually translating the philosophy of holes and windows that permeate spaces—as seen in Yamada Hikaru's representative \"Screen Series\"—into a practical vessel where physical holes cannot be made. The lid of the original wooden box bears the artist's handwritten title \"Kohiki,\" Yamada Hikaru's signature \"Hikaru Zo,\" and a genuine seal verifying its authenticity, completely confirming its reliability as a historical collection.

Formed into an exquisitely palm-fitting, elongated size with a mouth diameter of approximately 6.4 cm–6.5 cm and a height of approximately 9.7–9.9 cm, the subtle hand-crafted distortions and warpage impart unique shadows and warmth to the vessel bodies. Our shop presents this set to the global market not only for daily tea use, but also as superb Japanese beer cups (beer mugs\/tumblers) whose near-un-glazed-like glaze surface and minute texture generate fine, creamy foam, as well as versatile Japanese craft free cups (sake vessels) for quietly savoring the rich aroma and flavor of amber aged sake, matured whisky, or authentic shochu over large ice cubes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eObserving the details of this work clearly reveals a powerful expression woven by the coarse clay texture rich in silica sand and feldspar granules characteristic of Shigaraki ware, alongside a generous application of milky-white feldspar glaze (white glaze). The feldspar glaze enveloping the entire vessel forms a dynamic scenery of \"flowing glaze\" dripping during high-temperature firing, with fine crackles (kannyu) densely running across the entire glaze surface. Furthermore, brown iron spots and black dots exuded onto the surface due to iron in the clay during high-temperature vitrification, along with the minute texture of stone bursts (ishi-haze) where melted feldspar granules are exposed, spread richly from the exterior down to the inner bottom, constructing a natural landscape beyond intentional design. Near the base down to the foot ring (tatami-tsuki), irregular carving (frill-like wave carving) is applied, while the unglazed clay on the back of the foot ring reveals the rustic clay texture and melted feldspar marks unique to Shigaraki. Each of the three cups exhibits subtly different dripping patterns of feldspar glaze and appearance of iron spots, elevating its aesthetic value as a unique handcrafted item. The pottery walls with moderate thickness offer excellent heat and cold retention, allowing one to enjoy both the quality foam retention when pouring beer and the comfortable thermal sensation felt in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eRegarding the production period, although unknown, there is a possibility that these pieces were created from the mid-1980s to the early 2000s. This was an era in Japanese contemporary ceramic art when the shaping of beer cups, free cups, and tumblers for enjoying beer, shochu, and aged sake became immensely popular, establishing a style that elevated traditional wood-firing techniques and flowing feldspar glazes into modern lifestyle ceramics. The dynamic carving techniques near the foot ring, along with the crackle and flowing glaze expressions, also strongly reflect the characteristics of contemporary Shigaraki crafts from this period. Although there are no markings indicating the artist or accessories such as a dedicated wooden box (Tomobako), the vessels themselves have no cracks or chips, maintaining extremely good condition in both glaze coloration and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eUnknown (Contemporary Shigaraki ceramic artist\/kiln)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of Production: \u003c\/strong\u003eCirca 1985–2005 (Estimated)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eVery good (no chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories: \u003c\/strong\u003eNone (3 cups only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003ePottery (Shigaraki ware, hand-carved, feldspar glaze, crackle glaze, flowing glaze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mouth diameter approx. 64–65 mm, Height approx. 97–99 mm (slight individual variations among the 3 cups)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution: \u003c\/strong\u003eAll products offered by our shop are pre-owned items due to their historical production period.

They redefined clay not merely as a material for vessels but as a medium for pure self-expression, giving birth to a completely new genre of art: objet ceramics, the first of its kind in Japan. Sodeisha subsequently led the forefront of Japan's contemporary art scene for half a century, and with its 50th exhibition in 1998, it dissolved amicably, having fully fulfilled its historic mission of elevating ceramics to contemporary art within the art world. Amidst this tumultuous movement, Suzuki preferred to use the term \"deisho\" (mud-form) for Suzuki's own works, meaning to manifest the form of the world through clay (mud), rather than simply calling them \"objects.\" Suzuki continued to pursue unique, poetic forms by deforming and deconstructing Suzuki's superb potting wheel techniques. By 1999, the artist's global status was firmly established, as evidenced by a large-scale retrospective exhibition held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThe distinctive face-shaped motif that dominates the front of this work perfectly embodies Suzuki's lifelong pursuit of reverence for nature and a return to primitive art. The eyes and nose carved into this circular bas-relief, along with the continuous spiral patterns arranged at the bottom, personify the life force of great nature, such as the sun and wind, with Suzuki's unique poetic humor, imbuing the modern vessel with the pure magical energy of Jomon clay figurines and ancient masks. The surface of the vessel intentionally exposes a powerful, clay texture like Mikage clay containing coarse particles, over which a thin layer of feldspar glaze with a pale greenish-gray tint is applied. This masterfully merges the organic warmth of the clay with the sparkling beauty of the finely appearing crazing (fine crack patterns) on the surface. Furthermore, at the bottom edge of the vessel, a vibrant reddish \"hi-iro\" (fire color) has emerged, a result of the chemical reaction between the edge of the glaze and the unglazed body caused by the intense flames of the climbing kiln, thus encapsulating the dramatic moment when fire and earth became one within the vessel. At the base of the handle, Suzuki's circular \"治\" (Osamu) seal is clearly impressed, confirming its authenticity. The handwritten signature and seal on the lid of the wooden box, along with the official ceramic history (bookmark) from Yodo Gallery in Osaka, which conveys the atmosphere of the artist's solo exhibitions at the time, are perfectly preserved. This is a supreme piece in excellent condition, condensing the artist's lifelong artistry, where Suzuki's object philosophy (Deisho) admirably returns to its origin as a functional vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/maker-suzuki-osamu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSuzuki Osamu\u003c\/a\u003e (鈴木治, 1926–2001)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist's Major Career History\u003c\/b\u003e: [1926] Born in Kyoto as the third son of master potter Suzuki Ugenji, [1948] Formed the avant-garde ceramic art group \"Sodeisha\" with Yagi Kazuo and Yamada Hikaru, holding their first exhibition, [1961] Received the Japan Ceramic Society Award, [1962] Won a Gold Medal at the Prague International Ceramics Exhibition, [1968] Appointed Assistant Professor of Ceramics at Osaka University of Arts, [1970] Won a Gold Medal at the Vallauris International Ceramics Biennale and invited to exhibit at \"Contemporary Ceramics - Europe and Japan\" organized by the National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, [1971] Won the Minister of International Trade and Industry Award at the Faenza International Ceramics Exhibition and invited to exhibit at the Japan Ceramics Exhibition (subsequently exhibiting every time), invited to exhibit at \"Contemporary Ceramics - America, Canada, Mexico and Japan\" exhibition organized by the National Museums of Modern Art, Kyoto and Tokyo, [1975] Exhibited at \"International Ceramics Exhibition '75\", [1979] Exhibited at \"Art Now '79\", [1999] A large-scale retrospective exhibition \"Poetic Objects: Suzuki Osamu's Ceramics\" was held at the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, [2001] Passed away at the age of 73\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMuseum Collections\u003c\/b\u003e: Permanently housed in public collections of major modern art museums around the world, including The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCirca:\u003c\/b\u003e c. 1955 (Presumed identical or same-series works are currently in the collection of institutions such as The National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/b\u003e: Original wooden box, wrapping cloth, official ceramic history (bookmark) issued by Yodo Gallery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e: Pottery (feldspar glaze)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: Approx. 9.0 cm diameter, approx. 9.5 cm height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"12,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNote\u003c\/b\u003e: Even if the products offered by our shop are new and unused, they are from a very old production period and are all listed as used items.

Having repeatedly been selected for the Nitten exhibition and spent decades perfecting colored glass shaping and gold leaf fusing techniques via off-hand glassblowing (hot work), this piece represents one of Otsubo's signature craft liquor vessels. It can be estimated as an authentic work created between the late 1990s and early 2000s (around Heisei 10), a period surrounding Otsubo's recognition as a \"Contemporary Master Craftsman\" when the development and technique of gold-leaf handled art liquor vessels bearing the artist's personal name reached full maturity at the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eA detailed analysis of the piece's design reveals a supreme fusion of advanced gold leaf encapsulation technology—expressing the traditional \"Tokusa\" (horsetail \/ vertical stripe) motif crowned in the work's title through gold leaf—and Otsubo's true mastery of hot-work fusing of different colored glasses. Recreating the traditional vertical stripe Tokusa pattern cherished in Japan since ancient times through a meticulous technique of wrapping gold leaf onto molten glass at high temperatures and blowing it out, the delicate cracks produced in the gold leaf intricately refract light, causing golden stripes to emerge in three-dimensional relief. The body surface forms a beautiful stripe pattern harmonizing the dazzling brilliance of gold leaf with the clear transparency of glass, depicting deep, luminous shadows. Furthermore, a handle made of vivid emerald-green colored glass is seamlessly and smoothly fused to the side using hot-work techniques, forming a magnificent aesthetic contrast between the thick, robust form unique to hand-blown glass, the powerful gold Tokusa pattern, and the clear green handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eBoasting substantial dimensions measuring approx. 15.7 cm in height, approx. 8.8 cm in diameter, and approx. 480 g in weight, our shop proposes this work, in alignment with modern refined lifestyles and fine spirits culture, as a \"Japanese beer mug\" for pouring chilled premium or craft beers, or as a \"Japanese highball glass\" for enjoying vintage whisky highballs, aged sake, or fine spirits over ice. The sturdy green handle resting comfortably in the hand and the visual effect of the gold Tokusa pattern intricately reflecting in poured liquids or ice elevate an evening drink to a far more glamorous occasion. A masterpiece uniting the high thermal processing technology and traditional pattern beauty of a Contemporary Master Craftsman, this piece allows one to relish the true essence of Japanese glass craft through both visual appreciation and practical use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/makers#glass\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eOtsubo Osamu\u003c\/a\u003e (大坪修, c. 1947–)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Representative Career Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chief Technician at Joetsu Crystal Glass (Tsukiyono Studio).
