Shuen Yoshida Signed Vintage Japanese Mingei Hagi Ware Pottery Bowl with Box

About the Item

A beautiful Hagi Yaki Ware pottery Chawan tea bowl by renowned Japanese potter Shuen (Shoen) Yoshida (1940-1987). Yoshida was an apprentice of Miwa Kyusetsu (1910-2012) who was awarded the status of Living National Treasure in 1983. Many believe Yoshida was one of if not the greatest potter of his generation, and expected him to become a future national human treasure as well but tragically, he passed away at the age of 46 years old. Hagi ware (萩焼, Hagi-yaki) is a type of Japanese pottery traditionally originated from the town of Hagi, Yamaguchi, in the former Nagato Province and can be traced back to the arrival of Korean potters to Hagi following Japan's military invasion of the Korean peninsula in the late 16th century. The Chawan is high fired stoneware and features an off white flowing translucent crackle glaze with shifting colors and textures. The work is signed with the seal of the potter stamped on the bottom and comes with the original signed and sealed tomobako wooden box. A rare, hard to find, special piece. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery/ceramics collection ot make for an eye catching stand alone accent work in about any setting. Bowl dimensions: 3.75" high, 5" wide, 4.75" deep Box: 5" x 6" x 6"
