Ceramic Bowl by Shigemori Yoko, Japanese Pottery exhibited in V&A Museum
About the Item
A striking hand-thrown ceramic bowl by celebrated Japanese artist Shigemori Yoko (1953–2021), known for her expressive, calligraphy-inspired brushwork and sculptural organic forms. This dynamic piece features an asymmetrical form with bold black abstract strokes against a smooth, white glaze — a signature style that blends traditional Japanese ceramic techniques with avant-garde sensibility.
The gestural brushwork evokes spontaneous ink painting and speaks to the artist’s early training in painting before turning to ceramics. The exterior is subtly textured, with soft ridges from the wheel and slight warping that enhances the tactile, handmade quality of the bowl. Both sculptural and functional, the piece embodies wabi-sabi aesthetics and would make a striking centerpiece or collectible art object.
Shigemori Yoko studied under master ceramicists Kondō Yutaka and Yagi Kazuo at the Kyoto City University of Arts. She received the Yagi Kazuo Prize twice and was featured in the influential Tō journal (vol. 76), dedicated to Kyoto’s avant-garde ceramic artists. Her works are held in major museum collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
