Japanese Red Gold Mizusashi Jar by Master Porcelain Artist
About the Item
Exquisite Japanese contemporary jar/mizusashi, extremely intricately hand painted in red, green and blue and gilded with pure gold featuring seasonal panels showing children at play and classified as a tomobuta (matching lid) type. This masterpiece is the signed work by the highly decorated award-winning master porcelain artist of the Kutani region who remains active today in his mid 80s. A long-time aficionado of the tea ceremony, the artist’s kiln adjoins a traditional tea ceremony room that he has named “Sen Shin An” (soul cleansing hermitage). The artist's profile is available upon request.
The exterior palette is playfully repeated on the reverse side of the lid. Mizusashi is a lidded fresh water jar used in the traditional Japanese tea ceremony to replenish the boiling kettle and rinse the tea bowls. First to enter and last to leave the tea ceremony room, the mizusashi serves as a focal point in the aesthetic scheme of an otherwise somber and meditative ceremony with a history that goes back more than ten centuries.
Throughout the years, he has created numerous mizusashi and tea bowls for the traditional tea ceremony. His work is currently on display in the Multiversity Gallery of the Museum of Anthropology of the University of British Columbia.
This stunning piece comes in a custom-made wooden box signed by the artist.
