Japanese Contemporary Ceramic Sculptural Slab Yoshikawa Masamichi
About the Item
A richly glazed ceramic sculptural slab in the shape of a centerpiece plate by Japanese ceramic artist Yoshikawa Masamichi (1946-). The highly abstract piece was hand built with intentional irregularity and covered with a thick bluish-green Seihakuji glaze and deposits into a deeper celadon green along the edges. The glaze that the artist applied invokes a sense of purity that one found in the celadon from Chinese Song Dynasty and Korean Joseon period. The solid piece is very heavy, and it was carved into geometrical compartments with sharp lines in the center while the surface of the borders shows a chiseled texture. Under the piece, there are foot supports of various sizes and shapes and also an elaborate under the glaze design drawing as shown.
An unconventional piece that is hard to define. It comes with a wood tomobako box with inscription under the lid that shows the title, artist's signature and seal.
Born in Kanagawa Prefecture near Tokyo and based in Tokoname, Yoshikawa creates ceramic with seihakuji glaze in his signature style that is difference from the more delicate works by other seihakuji artists such as Fukami Sueharu and Yagi Akira. His glaze is thick with pooling and dripping and his form more abstract and robust.

- Large Japanese Contemporary Ceramic Jar from Onda Yaki KilnBy Onda YakiLocated in Atlanta, GAA large Japanese lidded ceramic jar from the kiln of Onda Yaki, circa 2010. The stoneware jar impresses the viewer with a robust bulbous form. Its black body is nearly unglazed but exuberantly splashed with strokes of slip glazes of white, yellow and blue. The visual effect is wonderful that it appears traditional and contemporary at the same time. The tri-color glaze calls to mind the San-Cai from Chinese Tang dynasty, yet the application is akin to abstract painting on canvas. Onda Yaki also spelled as Onta Yaki also spelled Onta, is a type of Japanese pottery produced in and around the village of Onta in Oita Prefecture in Kyushu Island. It was founded in 1705. Closely associated with Mingei folk art, Onda ware was inscribed by the national government in 1995 as an Intangible Cultural Property Background from Pucker Gallery where the jar was exibited and purchased. "In his search for true folk pottery, the Japanese philosopher Soetsu Yanagi...Category
