Pair of Fine Japanese Satsuma Vases, Ogawa Yozan Studio, First Half 20th Century

About the Item

A beautiful decorative pair of Satsuma vases from the Ogawa Yozan Studio. Of compressed ovoid form with a short waisted neck, finely decorated all over with scenes of women (Bijin - beautiful people) engaged in various activities in a landscape with village houses, each signed to underside with studio signature. In original unmarked condition. In 1919, the founder of Yozan was attracted to the mesh pattern of the Awata yaki, so much so that he began manufacturing Kyo-Satsuma in the Higashiyama Ward of Kyoto City. Since then, Ogawayozan have devoted themselves to crafting this intricately designed pottery. Kyo-Satsuma has become well renowned across many different countries in forms such as vases, teapots, and decorative dishes. In Japan, Kyo-Satsuma pottery is highly desirable for tea ceremonies and burning traditional incense. In 1993, the second generation Yozan was awarded the honour of being named Traditional Industrial Excellence Engineer by the Governor of Kyoto. Shortly after, in 1996, the third generation Yozan was certified as a successor to Kyoto’s crafts technology.
