Sugimoto Sadamitsu Signed Japanese Shigaraki Pottery Wabi-Sabi Art Vase
About the Item
A quite wonderful Shigaraki pottery vase by renowned Japanese potter/ceramicist and Zen master Sugimoto Sadamitsu (1935-). Born in Tōkyō in 1935, Sugimoto is a self-taught, highly admired master of Iga and Shigaraki pottery and has received many honors in Japan. The vase features a beautiful, unique natural organic ash glaze with wonderful shifts in color and texture.
Shigaraki Ware pottery comes from Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The kiln there is one of six ancient kilns in Japan (along with Echizen ware, Seto ware, Bizen ware, Tamba ware, and Tokoname ware).
The work is signed with his carved signature/pottery mark on the base.
This particular work also encompasses the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic - the appreciation of beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature and embraces the principles of asymmetry, roughness, simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and the appreciation of both natural objects and the forces of nature upon them.
Sugimoto's work can be found in many prominent private collections and public institutions in Japan including The Tokyo National Museum as well as the Brooklyn Museum and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Japanese Pavilion.
Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian pottery/ceramic collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece in about any setting.

Modern Japanese Ceramic Shigaraki Ikebana Vase Takahashi Shunsai
Located in Atlanta, GA
A tall ceramic vase made in the tradition of Shigaraki ware by Japanese potter Takahashi Shunsai (1927-2011), the fourth heir of the famed Rakusai lineage of potters.

The surface is thickly draped with natural ash glaze that deposited onto the body during the firing process in the kiln. It also features decoration of carved lines. Nuggets of feldspar were incorporated in the clay and exposed onto the surface as crystal like jewels. Substantial and archaic looking, the vase also has a strong modern appeal due to its Mingei styling. It was signed on the base with a pressed seal Shunsai as shown. The vase comes with its original wood storage box (tomobako) with bears the title and signature in Kanji and a seal. It also retains a paperwork noting the artist's biography and practice philosophy in Japanese.
