Pair of Mugs K. Fujumori for Kato Kogei Japan Twilight Post-Modern Memphis 1980s
About the Item
Pair of mugs in Twilight pattern were designed by Kaneaki Fujimori for Kato Kogei Japan in 1980s. The mugs are decorated with colorful designs in black, olive, and orange that are clearly influenced by Memphis Milano style. Porcelain mugs were made in Nagoya, Japan; unusual asymmetric, angular geometric shape of the mugs supports and adds intensity to the playful colors and shapes of the Post-Modern style of decoration.
Kaneaki Fujimori (1935-) graduated from college in 1958, majoring in oil painting and design, and worked as a designer for a major American ceramics company in Chicago. In 1963 Fujimori returned to Japan to work as a freelance designer for ceramic companies in Nagoya. He received multiple prestigious national art awards, and in 1980s he became the art director for Kato Kogei, a major supplier of Japanese ceramics to the international markets.
The mugs are marked at the bottom with "Fujimori Collection Twilight Kato Kogei Japan"; they measure 4.1" high with 2.7" diameter opening.
The mugs are in excellent vintage condition.
