About the Item

Okumura Shozan (1841-1905) is a Japanese potter from the end of the Edo to the Meiji period. Born in OMI in Shiga Prefecture, his birth name is Yataro. After working as a ceramic teacher of Kyo-yaki, he started working in Gojozaka, Kyoto, independently in 1890. He researched old glazing techniques and was renowned for recreating the works of earlier Edo artists such as Ninsei Nonomura and Ogata Kenzan. He won the award at the National Industry Expo for his works known as Shozan ware for their high quality.
Shozan was also known as a hand-on "studio artist" who involved himself in all the process of ceramic making, except for grinding and mixing of the clay.

- Japanese Ceramic Centerpiece Bowl Makuzu Kozan Meiji PeriodBy Makuzu KozanLocated in Atlanta, GAA beautiful ceramic vessel in the form of Bo, the so-called monk's alms bowl from the studio of Japanese Potter Makuzu Kozan, also known as Miyagawa Kozan (1842–1916), one of the most established and collected ceramist from Meiji Period. Born as Miyagawa Toranosuke, Kozan established his pottery studio in Yokohama circa 1870s and later became one of the appointed artists to the Japanese Imperial household. His work was exhibited in many international fairs that the Meiji government participated at the turn of the century and won many grand prizes. Of a relatively large size, this piece was made as a decorative center piece for display. It was brilliantly decorated with underglaze paint of a green-on-green bamboo motif, using the novel technique developed by Kozan called Fuki-e (the blow painting). As a result, the bamboos appear took on a three-dimensional quality as if appearing in a mist. Known as one of the most creative ceramists, circa 1887, Kozan started experimenting with new chemical colors from the West in the format of his porcelain glaze. New colors allowed him to create underglaze design that appeared bright, smooth and glossy. To create design that is realistic and dimensional, more common in the western paintings, he was inspired by the native Japanese ink painting technique developed around 1900 by Yokoyama Taikan...Category

- Japanese Yoshidaya Saiko Kutani Ceramic DishBy YoshidayaLocated in Atlanta, GAA Japanese Ao-Kutani stoneware dish with overglaze decoration in the shape of barbed quatrefoil shape from late Edo period, circa early mid-19th century. Around 1804, 100 years after Ko-Kutani (old-Kutani) ware disappeared abruptly after thriving from 1655-early 1700s, saiko-kutani (revived-kutani) was attempted by many kilns and several distinguished styles developed. Among them, Yoshidaya kiln attempted to revive the original style of Ko-Kutani known as Aote, which employed four dark colors: green, yellow, dark blue/black and aubergine to create bold and striking design. The Yoshidaya production was short-lived and lasted roughly from 1823-1831. This dish is likely dated from this period or shortly after. The overglaze design centered around a crouching tiger under a black bamboo grove in a deep green background, surrounded by luxuriant banana leaves in green and aubergine with black outlines. The base of a similar concentric barbed quatrefoil design is further decorated with black foliage outlines and marked with a square Fuku mark.
