Kiyoharu Ichino Contemporary Japanese Tamba Pottery Vessel, circa 2000
About the Item
A stunning and dramatic contemporary tamba ware vessel with ash glaze by Kyoharu Ichino (b. 1957), circa 2007.
A beautiful study in form and balance, this vessel is highly reminiscent of Richard Serra's large-scale landscape works. There is a tension between the concave and convex, the curved lines and straight edges, the smooth surface and rough edges, the glazed and unglazed areas.
The vessel expresses itself in different ways, depending on the angle of view. From the "front", the deep curves are reminiscent of waves or ripples, conveying a sense of motion. From the side, all of that is hidden, and all one sees is a tall, narrow curved vessel. From back, the vessel becomes a study in geometry, seemingly following the golden ratio.
The thick slab walls of the vessel are crafted from the red clay Tanba is famous for. Fired at high temperatures in a wood fired kiln, a natural ash glaze of russet and green has formed, speckling and pooling along the clay body, contrasting nicely against the deep red clay body.
Kyoharu Ichino (b. 1957) is an internationally recognized master potter specialized in Tanba ware. Tanba (Tamba) ware has a long history in Japan, emerging in the 12th century during the Heian Era. It is recognized as one of the Six Ancient Kilns of Japan.

Kiyoharu Ichino
Kiyoharu Ichino was born in 1957 in Tachikui from a long line of potters, and his studies commenced as a child. By 1983, he had established his studio. In 1995, he was nominated to be a permanent member of The Japan Crafts Association, an honor bestowed upon a select few. His work emerges from the tradition of Tanba pottery, which has developed over centuries in the mountains northwest of Kyoto, where the soil is particularly rich and ferrous.
