About the Item

A wonderfully designed (note the intricate hand created repeated pattern detail), quite large and heavy Mingei Agano Yaki ware pottery vase by Japanese artist Gen Kozuru (1938- ). Agano ware (上野焼, Agano-yaki) is a type of Japanese stoneware pottery traditionally made in Fukuchi, Tagawa District, Fukuoka and is characterized by its high-fired clay body and distinctive glaze techniques. It was originally associated with traditional tea ceremony pieces, but later transitioned and adopted more modern and abstract style works such as this vase Kozuru is one of Agano Yakii wares most well known and famous potters. In the 1980s he moved to the United States and established a kiln in Boston, MA, where he has continued to produce wonderful pieces (he also operated his kiln back in Fukuoka Japan during this time). Kozuru's work can be found in many permeant private collections and museums including the Kyoto Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) Boston among others. A recent exhibition of his work - The Wind from Topsfield - was held at the Fukuoka Mitsukoshi Gallery in 2020. The vase is signed by Kozuru with his stamped mark on the bottom/base and also comes with the original hand signed and sealed wood tomobako box. The vase was created around 45-50 years ago. A substantial work. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian ceramics collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent piece in about any setting..

Shoji Hamada Mingei Kakiyu Kaki Japanese Pottery Vase with Signed & Sealed Box

By Shoji Hamada

Located in Studio City, CA

An exquisite, beautifully crafted, and designed gourd vase by master Japanese potter Shoji Hamada, which features a fine example of his famed rich Kaki or persimmon glaze. The original Hamada stamped/sealed and signed box is included. Rare to find such a beautiful piece in such impeccable condition with its original signed box. Hamada named this vase Kaki-Yu-Kabin (flower vase with Kakiyu glaze). A very rare form. One Japanese ceramic dealer whom we know said he had only seen one or two other examples like this by Hamada before. This work is sure to shine in any Japanese pottery/art collection or setting. Shoji Hamada was designated a Living National Treasure in Japan in 1955. In 1968 he received Japan's highest artistic award the Order of Culture. His work can be found in collections and museums worldwide including Tokyo’s Japan Folk Art Museum and The Tate Museum...

Shoji Hamada Tenmoku Glaze & Kaki Trailing Vase with Original Signed Sealed Box

By Shoji Hamada

Located in Studio City, CA

An exquisite, beautifully crafted Japanese pottery vase by master potter Shoji Hamada featuring Hamada's famous signature tenmoku glaze with kaki trailing. The original Hamada signed and sealed wood storage box is included as well as the written appraised signature of his son Shinsaku Hamada. The vase also comes with a printed artist profile/sales brochure of Hamada (featuring some of his other presumably available work). It appears this piece was offered at the Keio Department store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. At first glance, this may seem odd but in fact, this is quite an honor in Japan. This store is known for selling and exhibiting such high-profile artists and potters as Bernard Leach, Lucie Rie, Gyokudo Kawai, Shiko Munakata, Kawai Kanjiro, and Rosanjin Kitaoji. A major goal of many ceramic artists in Japan is to have a one-man exhibition in a department store. For many Westerners, this is a strange concept. Some of the larger department stores have up to three or four dedicated galleries showing concurrent art exhibitions. A well-known artist's exhibition can bring in hundreds, often thousands, of customers to a store and increase revenue for other sales in the millions-of-yen range. These exhibits are usually longer running and highlight a potter's career, like a Living National...

Tatsuzo Shimaoka Japanese Glazed Rope Inlay Pottery Ceramic Vase with Signed Box

By Tatsuzo Shimaoka 2

Located in Studio City, CA

A wonderfully designed and gorgeously colored coveted square Mingei bottle vase by Japanese National Treasure pottery master Tatsuzo Shimaoka. This vase is an early work of Shimaoka's before he started to use his impressed "Ta" signature. The rich colors are truly amazing and shift in the light. The vase comes with a Shimaoka signed and sealed box. The work is exquisite in every way and has a wonderful feel and heft to it. Shimaoka, who started as an apprentice to famed Japanese potter Shoji Hamada in 1946 before opening his own studio, has exhibited worldwide including North America, Asia, and Europe. In 1996 he was bestowed the title of Japanese Living Treasure...

Kaneshige Toyo National Treasure Signed Japanese Bizen Pottery Sake Bottle Vase

Located in Studio City, CA

A beautiful, perfectly shaped and balanced antique Bizen ware shibui sake bottle (tokkuri) vase by renowned Japanese master potter/artist Kaneshige Toyo (1896-1967) featuring a unique natural, wonderfully textured organic forming ash glaze. Kaneshige is universally considered to be the founder of modern Bizen pottery. In 1956, Kaneshige was certified as a Living National Treasure (Important Intangible Cultural Heritage) for his work in Bizen Ware pottery/ceramics. Bizen Ware is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally from the Bizen province, presently a part of the Okayama prefecture. It is considered one of the Six Ancient Japanese Kilns (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Shigaraki ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware). The piece is signed/ sealed on the base with one of Kaneshige's traditional incised marks. A rather striking and engaging work. One of the best Kaneshige works we have come across. Scarce and hard to find in such an excellent condition. Would be a fantastic addition to any Japanese/Asian pottery or Bizen Ware collection or eye-catching stand-alone work in about any setting. Kaneshige's work can be found in numerous prominent collections and museums including: Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum, Seto, Japan Brooklyn Museum, NY Hagi Uragami Museum, Yamaguchi, Japan Honolulu Art Museum, HI Ibaraki Ceramic Art Museum, Kasama, Japan Indiana Art...
