This event marked the end of Japan's long period of isolation and marked the beginning of a dramatic intermingling and vibrant exchange between Japanese and Western cultures. The design of the admiral's costume and sailing ships speaks to the amazement and curiosity felt by Japanese people at the time toward Western culture.

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.

This work, \"Tea Bowl with Iron-Glaze Polychrome Bamboo Design,\" transcends the scope of a mere apprentice's work; it is a masterpiece that represents the culmination of Fukuda's late-career artistry, fully embodying the essence of the Hamada Folk Craft (Mingei) movement. Apprenticing with Hamada Shoji in 1925 at the age of 13, Fukuda served his entire life as the chief workshop manager (Banto), the most trusted pillar of Hamada’s studio. His style, distinct from his teacher’s flamboyant artistry, distills a \"sincerity to the earth\" and \"beauty in utility\" that can only be achieved by a craftsman dedicated to the front lines of production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eThe highlight of this piece is the bold yet delicate technique of \"Tetsu-e Kasai\" (iron-glaze with added polychrome) applied to the surface. Painted without hesitation over traditional Mashiko persimmon (Kaki) and rice husk (Nukajiro) glazes, the bamboo leaf design captures a fleeting moment of vitality swaying in the wind. These brushstrokes possess the robust power of a man who touched clay and conversed with fire daily for decades. The profound dark brown of the iron-glaze and the depth of the added colors create a magnificent contrast with the rustic texture of the Mashiko earth, bringing a spiritual depth to the entire vessel. Connoisseurs will be particularly impressed by the substantial \"heft\" and the mastery of the firing. As the manager of the studio’s climbing kiln, Fukuda understood the nature of fire perfectly, allowing him to achieve a degree of glaze melt that feels like a powerful, uncalculated force of nature. The moment you hold it, you feel the substantial weight and warmth of the earth. This texture, combined with the subtle flare of the rim and the depth of the bowl, elevates its functional perfection to the highest degree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eThere is a deliberate reason we propose this masterpiece as the \"Supreme Ceramic Whisky Tumbler.\" Originally, a tea bowl is a \"vessel for fragrance\" designed to maximize the aromatic experience. Its wide interior and calculated diameter allow the complex aromas of aged spirits—especially whisky—to open up more luxuriantly than in a standard glass, delivering the scent directly to the palate. The deep tones of the persimmon glaze and the powerful iron-glaze design resonate with bold single malts, such as a long-aged Macallan from sherry casks or a peaty Lagavulin. The heavy Mashiko earthenware gently embraces the musical sound of amber liquid swirling against ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003ePouring a fine Western spirit into a treasure of Japanese Kōgei creates a \"fusion of Eastern and Western cultures\" that defines the essence of modern luxury. Because Fukuda dedicated most of his life to assisting his master, works bearing his own signature—especially tea bowls of this caliber—are exceedingly rare. When the scent of the earth blends with the matured aroma of whisky, a unique time flows where Showa-era craftsmanship and contemporary sensibility intersect. Feeling the history of the Mingei movement at your fingertips while enjoying amber-colored moments—this piece promises an intellectual and elegant lifestyle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist:\u003c\/b\u003e Fukuda Rikisaburo (福田力三郎, 1912-1993)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"23\" data-index-in-node=\"38\"\u003eKey Activities:\u003c\/b\u003e The very first apprentice of Living National Treasure Hamada Shoji.

He was the great restorer who revived Utsutsugawa-yaki—a legendary pottery that flourished for only about 50 years during the mid-Edo period before disappearing. Although Utsutsugawa-yaki was once praised as the \"Treasure of the West,\" its techniques were lost for approximately 200 years. The Yokoishi family conducted exhaustive research over several generations, and it was the 13th generation who elevated its artistry to its absolute pinnacle.

The most defining characteristic of Utsutsugawa-yaki is the \"Hakeme\" (brush mark) technique, where dark brown earthenware clay rich in iron is fired as thinly as porcelain, and then white slip is applied with a brush. He was particularly renowned for the delicate \"Mizore-hakeme\" (sleet brush marks), which evokes the image of sleet falling from the sky. He was able to depict the graceful form of a white heron solely through the dynamic force of his brushwork.

This piece, in particular, expresses extremely fine brush movements reminiscent of sleet falling from the sky. Since the iron-rich clay and the slip have different shrinkage rates during firing, fixing the patterns without peeling on a vessel formed to extreme thinness requires a high level of kiln control and masterful handiwork that the artist achieved through decades of dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eWe propose this historic cylindrical cup as a special vessel for enjoying old whisky or rare spirits.

Consequently, achieving a finished piece requires the master craftsman's incredibly precise calculations and masterful skill. Although the design is \"Yakishime\" (unglazed stoneware), by controlling the kiln's flames to the absolute limit, the artist has transformed parts of the red clay into a deep jet black, showcasing the pinnacle of Yo-hen artistry. These traces of flame, which transcend human intention, are often described as reflections of Sado's rugged natural landscapes or the spray of waves crashing against the cliffs, embodying a quiet strength that shuns ostentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eOur shop redefines this unique vessel, crafted by a Living National Treasure, as the ultimate vessel for savoring aged sake or Japanese whisky that has acquired complex aromas over decades of maturation.

This historic achievement is the nation's official recognition that Nakada's underglaze decoration, above all \"Yūri Ginsai\" (silver leaf beneath the glaze), refined over more than half a century, represents the absolute pinnacle of Japanese craft aesthetics. Having studied under the Living National Treasure \u003ca href=\"\/en\/search?q=%22%E5%BE%B3%E7%94%B0%E5%85%AB%E5%8D%81%E5%90%89%22\u0026amp;type=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTokuda Yasokichi\u003c\/a\u003e III and learned the ultimate in color gradation, Nakada brought a new dimension of beauty to Kutani ware by sealing the brilliance of \"silver\" beneath the glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eThe reason Nakada is considered unique in the long history of Kutani ware lies in the overwhelming difficulty and tranquil beauty of the \"Yūri Ginsai\" technique featured in this work. Yūri Ginsai involves applying silver leaf to the vessel's surface and then firing it beneath a layer of glaze. Silver darkens as it oxidizes in the air, but sealed beneath the glaze it keeps its brilliance without tarnishing. Because the silver leaf is extremely thin, it constantly faces the risk of melting away under the intense heat of the kiln or being swept away by the movement of the glaze. Nakada places neatly cut pieces of silver leaf with tweezers, ensuring absolute precision, and uses unique temperature control to seal their brilliance beneath the glaze. This \"elegant depth of light that seems to well up from within\" is a divine technique that distinguishes itself from ordinary ginsai, where silver is simply fired onto the surface, and is a feat attainable only by a Living National Treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eThis work strongly reflects the mature style of Nakada's career on the path toward becoming a Living National Treasure, featuring the geometric silver motifs that have become the artist's signature. Beneath the deep lapis lazuli and pale purple glazes, the neatly aligned vertical bands of silver leaf reflect light, at times shimmering like the passage of time, and at others like light dancing on a quiet water surface. Though originally created as a \"teacup (Yunomi),\" its high decorative quality and substantial weight make it an unparalleled \"spirits vessel\" for enjoying old-bottle whiskies or rare single malts that have aged for decades. When amber liquid is poured in, the refraction further amplifies the brilliance of the silver leaf, creating a fantastical scene in the palm of your hand that only the owner can experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003eAs evidence of their global value, Nakada's works are permanently housed in institutions such as the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., and the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo. Following the 2025 designation as a Living National Treasure, these works have solidified their status as \"Japanese Cultural Heritage.\" There is no doubt that the rarity of such unique pieces, which perfectly balance technique and artistry, will continue to grow in the art market.

This motif is a universal theme in East Asian culture symbolizing the harmony between nature and humanity, making it the ideal design for a diplomatic gift signifying the deep cultural ties between Japan and China.

This piece transcends its role as a sake vessel, serving as a cultural artifact of the relations between Japan and China in the late 20th century.

The surface features a finely hand-worked texture that softly diffuses light, suppressing the coldness characteristic of metal and wonderfully expressing the crane's delicate texture and serene presence. The greatest highlight of the piece is that when placed on a table or small shelf, it enriches the space as a complete modern animal sculpture or paperweight, and only when the bottom is flipped over does the heavy metal bottle opener structure appear. By concealing the function of a tool within the sculpture, it vividly demonstrates Kitamura Ichiro's sophisticated design, which elevates an everyday tool into a work of art, and his high level of casting and processing techniques.

This piece, created after he established \"Kenji Toen\" in 1974, is a prime example of his signature retro-modern contemporary craft, where he controlled the properties of clay with his unique self-taught skills, fusing beautiful marble patterns with three-dimensional cutwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eThe Depths of Technique: Constructing Layered Clay and the Rhythm of Three-Dimensional Cuts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eThe core of Hotta Kenji's work lies in the \"nerikomi\" (or \"neriage\") technique, where he layers clays of different colors and then throws them on a potter's wheel to create patterns resembling natural strata or wood grain. The flowing marble patterns seen on the surface of this piece are not merely surface decoration; they demonstrate that the vessel's thickness itself is an accumulation of different clays. Furthermore, Hotta Kenji perfected his unique design by meticulously hand-carving the surface of these nerikomi patterns, a technique called \"polka dot cut\" (or \"carved work\"), creating a visually and musically rhythmic interplay of geometric patterns and three-dimensional shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eChallenging Physical Limits: Harmonizing the Shrinkage Rates of Different Clays\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eThe reason this technique is lauded as a highly advanced ceramic craft lies in the immense risk involved in combining multiple clays with different properties and shrinkage rates. Typically, clays of different colors have different compositions, so even a slight miscalculation during the drying or firing process can lead to fatal cracks (kire) or breakage at the joints. Based on his rigorous clay management and experience as an outstanding traditional craftsman, firing a layered structure with countless interfaces like this piece without distortion at high temperatures is an extremely difficult feat. The fact that the intricate geometric patterns and cuts are perfectly maintained from the rim to the foot, without any flaws, eloquently speaks to his high level of technical sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eForm and Function: Pure Form and Tactility through Unglazed Firing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eThis piece is finished with \"muyuyakishime\" (unglazed firing), where it is fired at high temperatures without any glaze. With a refined silhouette, approximately 6.0 cm in diameter and 8.0 cm in height, it directly conveys the fine and high-quality texture of the clay, exuding a pleasing, matte tension that feels as if it adheres to the palm. Precisely because there is no vitreous coating, the oils from your hands will permeate the surface with use, and over time, it will develop an alluring luster and color (aging), embodying the \"beauty of use\" as a craft that \"grows\" with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eAn Intellectual Tasting Experience for Aged Sake and Whisky\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eOur store proposes this piece, originally created as a teacup or free cup, as a Ceramic Whisky Tumbler for savoring amber-colored aged sake or matured Japanese whisky.

Konishi's artistry has achieved global recognition, with his works publicly held in prestigious institutions such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK and the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the US, following his silver prize win at the Vallauris International Ceramics Biennale in France in 1982. This piece is a masterpiece from his most energetic and mature period, spanning the 1980s to the early 1990s, where his unique neriage technique—developed through self-study and refined atop traditional Tokoname ware methods—converges with the intricate sculptural beauty achieved by a hand-turned pottery wheel. Our store offers this supreme Japanese craftwork, possessing a verified history and global acclaim, as a vintage premium sake vessel for savoring aged amber spirits or premium Japanese whisky neat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"24\"\u003eAt the core of Konishi Yohei's artistic value, and what experts most highly praise, is his unique neriage technique based on shudei (red clay), the symbol of Tokoname ware, where different colored clays are layered repeatedly to create patterns, along with his ultimate thin-walled construction achieved by a hand-turned pottery wheel. Konishi's neriage is not merely a superficial mixing of colors; by perfectly controlling clays with different compositions and shrinkage rates down to the millimeter, he creates complex and fluid geometric patterns that penetrate the thickness of the vessel. This technique results in a once-in-a-lifetime art where no two patterns are ever the same due to the chemical reaction between fire and clay in the kiln. The fact that works using this technique are housed in the Victoria and Albert Museum in the UK eloquently testifies to its universal beauty. Furthermore, the thin-walled construction, where clay is stretched to its limit using only the artist's fingertips, gives the vessel astonishing lightness and a pleasant feel to the mouth, embodying the ultimate in functional beauty in craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"25\"\u003eA detailed professional analysis of the design of this piece confirms that the unparalleled skill and aesthetic sense, synonymous with this master, are clearly evident across the entire surface of this small guinomi. The vessel's surface powerfully and precisely displays laminated neriage lines that beautifully undulate in conjunction with the rotation of the hand-turned pottery wheel, evoking the fluid strata or annual rings of nature. This pattern completely penetrates to the inside, allowing the clay pattern to emerge more vividly through the liquid when sake is poured. Additionally, the surface coloring, called Genshinsai, exhibits deep and delicate shades within the calm reddish-brown characteristic of shudei, possessing the inherent charm of Tokoname ware to mature and gain luster with use. The form of the rim, finished to an extreme thinness, dramatically enhances the tasting experience the moment premium spirits touch the lips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"26\"\u003eThis piece comes with the artist's handwritten signature and seal on the accompanying wooden box, as well as the wrapping cloth, indicating a genuine and authentic condition. However, a noticeable scuff (scratch) is observed on the inner bottom, so we offer it at a special price as a \"B-stock\" item with a history befitting its vintage status. When liquid touches the inside of the vessel, the weight of time held by the amber liquor and the design of the vessel reminiscent of geological strata beautifully resonate.

Its small size fits comfortably in the hand, and we propose it as a premium shot glass for enjoying Japan's excellent traditional crafts in a modern lifestyle. This piece holds the highest value as a vessel for savoring aged sake that has developed a rich amber color over time, possessing a profound, mellow aroma and a dense flavor, or for enjoying carefully selected whisky. Spending time enjoying exquisite sake in this vessel, which possesses overwhelming elegance as a work of art, offers a supremely luxurious experience for entertaining international collectors and discerning guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"27\"\u003eThe accompanying wooden box (tomobako) bears the elegant brushstrokes of \"Koitozaka\" on the right side, and Ryuzo's signature and seal on the left. The side of the box features Shibukusa Kobo's original green label, and the cloth wrapping the piece is stamped with the clear mark of Hida Shibukusa. These clearly prove that this work is an authentic piece created by Shibukusa Ryuzo VI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"28\"\u003eIn the history of Shibukusa ware, the fact that this piece is named Koitozaka and fired with this unique technique is extremely profound and dramatic. While Shibukusa ware began production in 1841 (Tenpo 12), its prehistory includes the year 1837 (Tenpo 7), when wealthy merchants from Takayama invited the renowned potter Toda Ryuzo from Seto. He established a kiln in Koitozaka, west of Takayama City, and began pottery production (the second period of Koito ware). Toda Ryuzo initially attempted to produce porcelain from local clay in Koitozaka, but due to the environment and technical difficulties of the time, he was forced to cease operations after only about five years. However, Ryuzo was later recalled by the Hida magistrate, successfully discovered high-quality pottery stone in the local mountains, and finally succeeded in producing porcelain. This marked the beginning of what is now Shibukusa ware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"29\"\u003eGenerally, Shibukusa ware is widely known for its porcelain pieces with splendid paintings on smooth white porcelain surfaces. However, the design and technique of this work hold a special meaning that sets them apart. For this vessel, instead of porcelain, a pottery base utilizing the texture of coarse clay is intentionally used, over which a yellowish-brown glaze with a slightly rough texture is applied. This is the very technique of Irabo glaze, the traditional basic glaze of Koito ware. Furthermore, the bold blackish-brown iron runs (tetsunagashi) applied over the glaze bake the powerful dynamism of the moment of chemical reaction with the flames in the kiln into the vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"30\"\u003eIn other words, the fact that Shibukusa Ryuzo VI intentionally named this footed cup \"Koitozaka\" and created it using the Irabo glaze technique, synonymous with Koito ware, tells us that this work expresses the utmost homage (historical respect) to the Koitozaka era—the origin of the founder Toda Ryuzo's challenging and difficult endeavors in pottery before successfully producing porcelain. This is an extremely rare and story-rich masterpiece that completely reproduces and fuses the beauty of the roots of Koito ware, another master craft of Hida Takayama, within the vessel, while utilizing the reliable technical skills of Shibukusa ware. This piece, which has been carefully preserved as a flawless complete item with its original box and original wrapping cloth, is a special sake vessel of museum-grade value, allowing international collectors to feel the profound depth of Japanese craft history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"31\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eShibukusa Ryuzo VI (六代 渋草柳造, Birth Name: Soshiro Toda)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"32\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist's Notable Career History: \u003c\/strong\u003e[1946] Born in Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture; [1981] Succeeded as Shibukusa Ryuzo VI, establishing a unique and innovative style by incorporating refined Nihonga (Japanese painting) expressions into ceramic art, transcending traditional Shibukusa ware forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"33\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWorks Housed In: \u003c\/strong\u003eHida Takayama Museum of Art, public institutions related to Takayama City, etc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"34\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction Period:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1980s - 2000s (Maturity period after succeeding to Shibukusa Ryuzo VI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"35\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood (no chips, no cracks, some stains on box)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"36\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dedicated wooden box (tomobako), original wrapping cloth included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"37\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pottery (Irabo glaze, iron run)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"38\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height approx. 6.8 cm, Mouth diameter approx. 4.4 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"39\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please note that all products offered by our store, even if brand new and unused, originate from a historic production period and are listed as pre-owned fine art items.

He is also known for having provided large jars and basins to adorn important spaces in the Kisshokaku building of Naritasan Osaka Betsuin Temple. The accompanying wooden box (tomobako) bears the artist's elegant handwritten inscription \"Nagashima-yaki Kiln Toshihide.\" The cup features a unique multifaceted form that fits perfectly in the hand, and an overwhelming presence where modern design is fused with functional beauty. We proudly present this rare craft piece as a premium Japanese Ceramic Whisky Tumbler, perfect for slowly enjoying rare aged sake that has matured into a deep amber color over many years, or a special single malt whisky with large ice cubes. This is a very rare masterpiece of Nagashima-yaki from Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, rarely seen in overseas markets, and a supreme vessel that brings the spirited sculptural beauty of Japanese contemporary crafts (Japanese KOGEI) to luxurious spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eToshihide Hisamura, the artist, was born in Shizuoka Prefecture in 1956 and graduated from the prestigious Kanazawa College of Art, giving him a very unique and intellectual background in the traditional ceramics world. After graduating from university, he worked in product design, involved in the design of industrial products, and further built a career as an international creator by traveling to the United States and Europe to study cutting-edge overseas designs. Later, in Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture, Toshihide and Atsuko Hisamura opened the Nagashima-yaki Tajin Kiln. While based on traditional Banko-yaki techniques, they developed simple and gentle works that reflect his meticulous sculptural calculations as a product designer and his thoughts on the changing seasons of Suigo Nagashima, surrounded by the Kiso Three Rivers. His exceptional technical skill and modern sensibility have been widely and publicly recognized, including selections for the Asahi Ceramic Exhibition and consecutive awards in the Banko Ceramic Comprehensive Competition, where he received the highest award, the Minister of International Trade and Industry Award, as well as the semi-grand prize and three other awards. After receiving the highest award, he completely stopped submitting to public exhibitions, which are influenced by trends in the art market, and has since immersed himself in ideal creations with his wife, making him known as a phantom artist whose works are extremely scarce in the market. In 1996, his outstanding craftsmanship was recognized, and he was nominated to create large jars and basins for important spaces, the Gatsurin-no-ma and reception room Kaori, for the construction of Kisshokaku at Naritasan Osaka Betsuin Temple, thus establishing a solid position in the Japanese architectural craft world as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"23\"\u003eA professional analysis of the sculptural beauty of this work reveals that Hisamura's unique spatial composition ability, highly praised as a former product designer, and the advanced traditional techniques of Banko-yaki are perfectly harmonized in this small vessel. The beautiful seams that clearly run from the side to the inner bottom of the vessel are clear evidence that instead of typical wheel-throwing, a forming technique was used where clay sheets (tatara) were rolled and their ends boldly overlapped and joined. By intentionally leaving these joints as sharp, un-smoothed lines, a three-dimensional edge and modern shadow are created on the front, reminiscent of folded origami or fabric, or even modern architecture. Furthermore, the unique three legs supporting the bottom of the vessel, and the entire unglazed base, clearly show that coarse fabric was pressed very strongly with the artist's specific intention, and the \"nunome (fabric texture) technique\" is perfectly executed, clearly engraving the deep and sharp texture of the weave down to every detail. The powerful pleat-like undulations extending radially from the three legs towards the center, and even the central annular detail, show that the fabric texture is preserved three-dimensionally without being crushed, indicating that this is not an accidental byproduct of the work but a meticulously calculated and advanced decorative expression. The dramatic contrast in texture created between the rustic iron-containing stoneware body characteristic of Banko-yaki and the smooth glazed layer on top is simply magnificent. In terms of decoration, a base of deep olive-green feldspar glaze is adorned with fluid black iron-painting curves drawn directly, and gold accents are luxuriously placed between the glaze, emitting an elegant metallic sparkle. A sharp red painting and gold horizontal band encircles the lower part of the vessel, embodying the modern design philosophy that tightens the overall organic form in a sophisticated way. The artist's handwritten signature, seal, and mark on the lid of the tomobako, along with a red seal certifying its authenticity, are perfectly intact, making this an art craft piece of unwavering asset value in superb condition without any flaws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist\u003c\/b\u003e: Hisamura Toshihide (久村俊英, 1956-)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eArtist's Major Career History\u003c\/b\u003e: [1956] Born in Shimizu Ward, Shizuoka City, Shizuoka Prefecture, [c. 1979] Engaged in product design after graduating from Kanazawa College of Art, studied overseas design in the U.S. and Europe, [1980s] Established Nagashima-yaki Tajin Kiln in Nagashima-cho, Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture, selected for the Asahi Ceramic Exhibition, consecutively awarded the highest prize \"Minister of International Trade and Industry Award,\" \"Semi-Grand Prize,\" and \"3 Awards\" in the Banko Ceramic Comprehensive Competition (subsequently ceased submitting to public exhibitions to concentrate on unique creations), [1996] Commissioned to create large jars and basins for the Gatsurin-no-ma and reception room Kaori, important spaces for the construction of Naritasan Osaka Betsuin Temple Kisshokaku.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWorks in Collection\u003c\/b\u003e: Naritasan Osaka Betsuin Temple (permanent installation in public spaces of Kisshokaku)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduction Period\u003c\/b\u003e: 1990s-2000s (estimated, works from the mature period before and after completing the major project for Naritasan, following the award of the Minister of International Trade and Industry Award)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eProduct Condition\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent (no chips, no cracks)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAccessories\u003c\/b\u003e: Dedicated tomobako (wooden box) (lid inscribed \"Nagashima-yaki Kiln Toshihide\"), with wrapping cloth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,6,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,6,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e: Ceramic (Oribe-style feldspar glaze, red overglaze painting with gold accents)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,7,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,7,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/b\u003e: Height approx. 7.8 cm, mouth diameter approx. 6.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-path-to-node=\"24,8,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"24,8,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNote\u003c\/b\u003e: Even if the products offered by our store are unused, they are from a very old production period and are all listed as used items.

Inheriting the legacy of the prestigious Matsuya Kiln and graduating from the Department of Ceramics at Kanazawa College of Art as well as the National Ceramic Experimental Station, Matsumoto Saichi broke free from the traditional \"five-color\" (Gosai) framework of Kutani ware, fusing gold and silver luster with graphic symbolic motifs to establish high acclaim as a leading figure in modern Kutani ceramics. Entrusted with creating the official sake cup gift for the Prime Minister during the normalization of Sino-Japanese diplomatic relations and furnishings for the Akasaka Palace (State Guest House), as well as winning the prestigious Nitten Special Award twice, he was a master who carried national honors. Featuring a shallow, gently flared flat-cup form measuring approximately 3 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, this piece possesses high practical utility and aesthetic value, not only as a traditional cup for enjoying chilled sake, but also as a vintage shot glass (Japanese sake cup) for quietly savoring amber aged sake or single malt whisky straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eObserving the details of this piece reveals a sophisticated fusion of Matsumoto Saichi's signature gold luster and translucent glazes, alongside his emblematic graphic design.

Rendered over this in black overglaze enamels are galloping four-legged animals, geometric fencing, and abstract motifs reminiscent of trees and birds, executed in fluid, expressive brushwork that constructs a modern aesthetic evoking ancient murals and primitive art. Meanwhile, the exterior walls are coated in a rich, vivid deep-blue glaze, and the unglazed white porcelain within the foot ring clearly displays his hand-painted signature reading \"Saichi\" in red overglaze, certifying it as an authentic creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eRegarding the period of production, taking clues from his peak artistic era between his first Nitten Special Award in 1977 (\"Ginsai Kiku\") and his second Nitten Special Award in 1988 (\"Kinsai Henko\"), when his style reached full maturity and he was at the height of his creative power as a leader of modern Kutani ware, it is identified as an authentic creation made between the late 1970s and the 1980s (Showa 50s to Showa 60s).

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.

Hand-sculpted while deliberately avoiding the linear geometry of the potter's wheel, a bold indentation as if forcefully pressed by fingers is applied around the center of the body, combining exceptional functionality that fits naturally in the fingertips when held. On the vessel's sides, vivid reddish-orange hidasuki (fire-cord markings) created by wrapping rice straw during firing emerge clearly in ring-like patterns, creating a dramatic contrast with the smoky dark brown and bluish-gray sangiri (ash-covered reduction marks) enveloping it, as well as the minute goma (natural ash glaze) from melted pine ash.

A member kiln of the Okayama Prefecture Bizen Ware Toyukai Cooperative, it is dedicated to making vessels that combine practical functionality with dignity and depth of character, and it seeks to create works that convey a sense of comfort and nostalgia to those who hold them. This piece was made by Asai, a potter at the kiln. The kiln’s representative has confirmed, from the signature on the body, that it is Asai’s work.

The body is egg-shaped, and its sides bear indentations of various sizes, as if pressed in with the fingers, so that the fingers rest naturally in them when the piece is held.

The side of the stem bears the incised signature “K. OKAWA.” The frosted, milky-white body is decorated with gold-tone foil combined with dots of blue glass. Measuring approximately 6.3 cm in height and 7.5 cm in rim diameter, it sits comfortably in the hand and is well suited for use as a Japanese-style shot glass for savoring aged spirits a little at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAccording to his reported biography, Mr. Okawa was born in Niigata Prefecture in 1940, studied craft design at Musashino Art University, and joined Hokuyo Glass in Aomori City in 1964. Hokuyo Glass began in 1949 as a maker of glass fishing floats. Building on the free-blowing (chūbuki) technique developed through float making, the company created Tsugaru Vidro in 1977, a line of handmade glass expressing the four seasons and natural landscapes of Aomori. Tsugaru Vidro was also the first product to be designated a traditional craft of Aomori Prefecture. From 1980 onward, Mr. Okawa presented his work in solo exhibitions and glass exhibitions in various parts of Japan. According to the official records of Aomori Prefecture, he received the 11th Aomori Prefecture Art and Culture Award in the crafts category for fiscal year Showa 60 (1985). He is further reported to have won the Grand Prize in Section 1 of the Tohoku Glass Art Exhibition, sponsored by Asahi Glass, in 1990, and the Asahi Glass Prize at the 1st Japan Glass Art Exhibition in 1991. In 2006 he served as an adviser to the company, and he passed away in 2008.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMr. Okawa’s style is distinguished by the way he incorporated glassmaking techniques from abroad on a foundation of glassblowing. In particular, his tea ceremony utensils, in which he adapted millefiori, the mosaic glass technique handed down on the Venetian island of Murano, in his own distinctive way, are introduced as representative of his work. He also produced many works on the theme of the natural scenery of the Tsugaru region. This piece does not employ millefiori mosaic decoration. It is an example in which the surface is composed of gold-tone foil and blue glass dots, and it demonstrates the breadth of his decorative expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe vessel takes the form of a bajohai, or stem cup, with a rounded cup supported on a stem that widens toward its base. The stem is hollow inside, so that the decoration of the cup can be seen through it when looking up from below. The entire surface has a matte finish with subdued luster, and the milky-white glass softly diffuses the light. The cup is clad in gold-tone foil, which spreads like a haze of fine particles near the rim and becomes larger fragments broken into a fine network of cracks on the lower body, varying in density from place to place. Over this, blue glass dots are arranged in vertical rows radiating from just below the rim down to the top of the stem. The dots are larger toward the upper part of the cup and become smaller and more closely set as they approach the stem, so that when the cup is viewed from below, the blue lines form a pattern spreading outward in all directions from the stem. The dots rise slightly from the surface, and between the rows the body undulates gently. Looking into the interior, the rows of blue dots and the glimmer of the foil show through the frosted wall, and a single blue dot is set at the very center of the bottom. When the cup is filled, the blue and gold pattern emerges through the surface of the liquid, offering an expression different from that seen from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe piece bears no date. It is a work bearing the artist’s personal signature, made between 1980, when he began presenting his work in solo and glass exhibitions, and his death in 2008. Documentation on Mr. Okawa is limited even within Japan, and his work has received almost no attention overseas. This stem cup, combining gold-tone foil and blue glass dots on frosted milky-white glass, is a piece of documentary value for understanding his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003eOkawa Kaoru (大川 薫, 1940–2008)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelected Career Highlights:\u003c\/strong\u003e [1964] Joined Hokuyo Glass, [1980 onward] Exhibited in solo exhibitions and glass exhibitions in various parts of Japan, [1985] 11th Aomori Prefecture Art and Culture Award (Crafts, fiscal year Showa 60), [1990] Grand Prize, Section 1, Tohoku Glass Art Exhibition (sponsored by Asahi Glass), [1991] Asahi Glass Prize, 1st Japan Glass Art Exhibition (sponsored by Asahi Glass), [2006] Adviser to Hokuyo Glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate: \u003c\/strong\u003eBetween 1980 and 2008 (estimated)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eSold as-is (one light surface scratch on the interior.

Since ancient times it has been used in China and Japan as a medicinal substance. In the 11th year of Meiji (1878), Miura Jozan I used this earth to improve what had until then been a soft-bodied ware, and he created a hard-fired red-purple clay ware (shushidei-yaki), known as Mumyoi ware. Under Jozan III, the ware became one of Sado’s industries and was widely distributed both in Japan and abroad. Kohei I, the son of Jozan III, carried on the family business while also studying fine-art painting. He founded Kohei Kiln and named it after Koheiji, the given name of Jozan I.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMiura Koheiji, the second generation, was born in 1933 in Aikawa, now part of Sado City, Niigata Prefecture.

His work moved from ash-glazed ceramics to Jun ware and finally to celadon. In 1976 he received the Minister of Education Award at the 23rd Japan Traditional Kogei Exhibition. The award-winning “Large Celadon Bowl” was thrown thinly on the wheel from the red shudei clay of Sado and coated generously with a bright bluish-white celadon glaze. He later developed a distinctive style of painting scenes from across Asia and Africa in overglaze enamels on celadon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMiura received the Japan Ceramic Society Award Gold Prize in 1993, the Grand Prize in the Crafts Category of the MOA Mokichi Okada Award in 1994, and the Japan Kogei Association Holders’ Prize in 1995. In 1996 he was awarded the Medal with Purple Ribbon. In 1997 he was designated a Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property. According to Sado City materials, he was the first potter to receive this designation in the field of celadon. He became a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts in 1990. In 2000 he was named professor emeritus of the university and head professor of the Ceramics Department at Bunsei University of Art. He passed away in 2006 at the age of 73.
