In addition to being selected nine times in total for the Teiten, Bunten, and Nitten exhibitions, the artist earned numerous selections and awards across various exhibitions, and in 1975, Oe's outstanding skills were recognized when Oe was designated as a Holder of Aichi Prefecture Designated Intangible Cultural Property (Craft Technique: \"Kushimemon\" Combed Pattern). Oe's works are officially housed and specially purchased by public institutions such as the Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum and Seto City. Our shop presents this dignified creation, in which tradition and pictorial sophistication fuse to a high degree, to the global market not only as a tea utensil for whisking matcha, but also as a supreme vintage rocks glass (a Japanese free cup) for slowly savoring aged sake or matured Japanese sake with large ice cubes, enveloped in rich depth and amber radiance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eThis work expresses at an exceptionally high level the chorie (carved pictorial design) motif originating from Japanese painting—Oe Bunsho’s greatest specialty—alongside the expression of benisobora-yu (red frost-dappled glaze), the culmination of the artist's many years of glaze research. On the surface of the vessel, which possesses an excellent tactile grip measuring approximately 9.2 cm in height and 12.0 cm in diameter, Oe's original red frost-dappled glaze is applied, featuring white crystals scattered like frost across a deep reddish-brown base evocative of an evening sky. On the vessel's exterior, a delicate carved drawing of \"YUkari\" (Evening Geese) is rendered, depicting geese flying in flocks across the dusk sky. YUkari is a traditional seasonal motif that has symbolized the deepening of autumn, travel sentiment, and refined nostalgia in Japanese waka poetry and Japanese painting since ancient times, brilliantly showcasing the exquisite line carving unique to Bunsho, who was so adept at animal and bird-and-flower designs that the artist was praised as \"Bunsho of Quails.\" A gentle glaze texture spreads inside the interior base (mikomi), while the artist's own seal is firmly incised into the unglazed clay beside the foot ring, demonstrating a splendid harmony between the bold yet refined form taking advantage of the clay's natural character inherited from Rosanjin and the delicate pictorial expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eRegarding the period of production, taking clues from the inclusion of \"Selected nine times for Teiten, Bunten, Nitten, etc.\" in the accompanying biography leaflet and the absence of any mention of Oe's Aichi Prefecture Designated Intangible Cultural Property designation (1975), it is identified as an authentic work produced between the 1960s and circa 1974, a mature period when the artist repeatedly won selections at Nitten and perfected Oe's unique red frost-dappled glaze and carved pictorial expression styles. The vessel itself has no chips or cracks, maintaining excellent condition in both glaze coloration and carved drawing preservation.

Known as \"Oe of the quails\" for a mastery of animal and bird-and-flower subjects, the artist brings the same brush to this fingertip-sized surface.

The pale yellowish glaze is covered with fine crazing, and a line of cobalt runs all the way around the rim. At each of the four corners a band of fine lattice pattern (higaki-mon) is painted in cobalt, framing the four faces like a picture frame. The interior is also shaped to four sides, and the glaze pools quietly there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the four faces carries a different cobalt design. \u003cstrong\u003eThe first face\u003c\/strong\u003e layers radiating clusters of leaves in dark cobalt along the top, from which fine lines and rows of dots hang downward.

The box is made of wood with a strong reddish grain, which suits the mingled brown and yellow-brown of the glaze.

The leaflet's career summary describes the rest of the training as \"largely self-taught.\" Oe was first selected for the 14th Teiten in 1933 and was selected nine times in all for the Teiten, Bunten and Nitten. According to the leaflet, Oe also won selections and prizes at the Kokuten, the Shoko-ten and other exhibitions. Oe perfected a distinctive comb technique and excelled in patterns of massed wheat and incised quail, earning the name \"Bunsho of the Quail.\" Major works include \"Kiseto-Glaze Vase with Wheat Design\" and \"Comb-Pattern Vase with Flowers and Birds.\" On 26 December 1975 Oe was designated the holder of an Aichi Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property (craft technique: kushime-mon). Oe also served as an adviser to the Seto Ceramic Art Association, and died on 23 January 1979 at the age of 80.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA work is in the Aichi Prefectural Museum of Art: the \"Warizansho Mukozuke\" side dish (c. 1940) in the Fujii Tatsukichi Collection.

It is thinly made, so it feels lighter in the hand than its solid look suggests. Irabo is a type of Korai tea bowl fired on the Korean Peninsula, with a yellow-brown glaze and a rough surface, and the name is said to come from that feel. On the outside of this piece, yellow-brown glaze spreads like a net over a reddish-brown ground, and brown mottling runs down in vertical lines. Near the rim the brown deepens into a band, and several shallow vertical lines run along the body. The glaze stops irregularly above the foot, where dark brown glaze has pooled thickly at the edge, turning bluish in places.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe highlight is the interior. From the centre of the bottom, yellow-brown glaze branches out radially, with small black spots scattered over the reddish-brown ground. A bluish-grey glassy glaze has pooled at the bottom, ringed by a white, frost-like border. This landscape of mingled brown and yellow-brown recalls the taihi tenmoku of China's Jizhou kilns, a tenmoku tea bowl with tortoiseshell-like mottling made by layering another glaze over a black glaze. The essay in the leaflet has the line \"glaze pooling like spring water, glaze running like a sudden shower,\" and the glaze resting quietly at the bottom and streaming down the walls shows exactly that expression. The foot and its surroundings are unglazed, revealing a fine, pale grey-brown clay. Concentric turning marks remain on the foot, and the exposed clay beside the foot bears the mark \"文象\" (Bunsho) incised with a spatula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eNote that public sources name comb decoration, wheat patterns and incised quail as Oe's specialities. This piece, whose subject is the landscape of the glaze, has no incised pictures or wheat patterns. As for the vertical lines on the body, the box inscription makes no mention of comb decoration, so we refrain from calling them kushime-mon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe production date can be estimated from the enclosed leaflet. Its career summary includes the Nitten among the exhibitions, so it was printed after the Nitten began in 1946. It also gives the birthplace as \"Chita-machi, Chita District, Aichi Prefecture.\" Chita-machi became Chita City on 1 September 1970, so the leaflet is thought to have been printed before then. It does not mention the 1975 Intangible Cultural Property designation either. Since this piece was kept in its fitted box with this leaflet, we estimate that it dates from 1946 to about 1970, although the leaflet may have continued to be used in later years.
