Izuru Yamamoto Japanese Bizen Ware Pottery Yohen Tsubo Jar Vase With Ash Glaze
About the Item
A stunning and sumptuously, naturally glazed large work by Japanese pottery master Izuru Yamamoto (Born 1944- He is the son of the late Toshu Yamamoto- a Japanese Living National Treasure) who is famed for his Bizen-yaki stoneware pottery made in the Bizen area in the Okayama Prefecture of Japan. Bizen ware is often identifiable by its ironlike hardness and reddish-brown color. Bizen ware artists rarely use glazes instead hoping for a natural glaze that if the circumstances are favorable occurs by chance in the wood-burning kiln. In Japan, this aesthetic is highly desirable when this happens.
Signed on the base of the tsubo jar with Yamamoto's mark. The wood protective box is also signed and sealed by the artist in red ink.
This piece was acquired by the previous owner at the prestigious Robert Yellin Gallery in Kyoto, Japan in 2008 where it was described as "The globular form of this pot is called full bunrin-apple. The firing is a rich varied colored yohen with a magical clay window toward the base streaked with ghostly hidasuki lines. Between the ash glaze and the window, this tsubo is quite magnificent. "
Yamamoto's work was collected by the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo among other international collections and museums (Sèvres Museum, Paris Brooklyn Museum, NY... )
In 1985, Yamamoto received the Kaneshige Toyo Award.
In 2012, he was designated as an Okayama Prefectural Important Intangible Cultural Property Holder
A quite special and unique one of a kind work. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery collection or eye-catching stand alone accent piece (perhaps a fantastic Ikebana vase) in about any setting.

Japanese Glazed Tsubo Wine Jar, c. 1875
Located in Chicago, IL
This large, glazed stoneware vessel is a Meiji-era Japanese storage jar (tsubo) used for storing rice wine, water or even tea leaves and spices. Sometimes referred to as a Martaban jar due to historic trade routes, this style of unrefined, ovoid jar was common throughout East Asia as everyday containers for liquids and foodstuffs. The large vessel is sculpted to a tapered form with broad shoulders, a narrow base, and a constrained neck flanked by two small loop handles. The interior and shoulders are drenched in a thin, iron-rich glaze that imparts a glassy, dark brown finish and drips down the unglazed sides with irregular movement. Beautifully imperfect, the jar's textured finish and subtle asymmetry honors the spirit of wabi-sabi and recalls primitive medieval Japanese...
