About the Item

Extraordinary Japanese contemporary three-panel framed porcelain artwork in gold, black and white. This is a masterpiece by a third generation master porcelain artist in the Imari-Arita region of Japan who is the descendant of an extended family of prolific porcelain and ceramic artists. The artist's profile is available upon request. The kiln started in the 19th century with traditional kinrande techniques (gold enameled porcelain), but in accordance with the philosophy of the kiln’s founder, each subsequent generation pioneered in a field of the master’s choosing. Thus, the second generation is known for its yuri-kinsai (gold foil underglaze) and the third generation for its haku-yui (intertwining of precious-metal foils). Yuri-kinsai was termed in the 1950s as a new glazing technique. The main feature is a highly transparent overglaze on the gilded porcelain, cutting out stencils of gold foil for underglaze decorations. In this exceptional work, the artist has used gold leaf, black and white for expressing the dramatic scene of Tawaraya Sotatsu's influential "Wind God and Thunder God" that is considered a Japanese National Treasure. It is a pair of two-folded screens using ink and color on gold-foiled paper, depicting "Raijin," the god of lightning, thunder and storms with it's origin in the Shinto religion and Japanese mythology, and "Fujin," the god of wind. Here the scene has been showcased, set against a gold leaf background of high purity gold. Three porcelain panels showcase this scene. This framed piece is a breathtaking artwork that attracts the viewer to approach it and enjoy the details. The three generations of the Kosan Kiln located in the Imari-Arita region of southern Japan (starting in 19th century,) have been experimenting and perfecting techniques featuring gold foil for seven decades. Inspired by centuries-old kinrande (gold enameled porcelain) styles of Imari, the artists have developed a technique known as haku-yui (braided foils) that combines high purity gold, platinum and silver foils to create a shimmering palette of light and color. Silver foil is used exclusively as a substrate for expressing a wide spectrum of vivid colors. Foils of differing material and color are applied separately and at the rate of “one shade per day” in a process reminiscent of multi-color woodblock printing, implying that the addition of each new shade exponentially increases the time and complexity of production. This exceptional framed porcelain artwork comes in a custom made wooden case signed by the artist. Dimensions: framed: H 19 in W 47 in D 2.5 in panel: H 30 in W 30 in D 1.5 in
