Ceramic Wall Plaque by Japanese artist Masano Asaru, Japan , circa 2000
About the Item
We are pleased to present this wall ceramic artwork by Asano Masaru.
This ceramic plaque shiws remarkable craftsmanship: the clay is hand-formed, carved, and then painted, resulting in an original and unique work of art.
Asano Masaru, born in 1944 in Miyagi Prefecture, launched his own kiln in 1973 in Mashiko, a town renowned for its deep roots in Japanese ceramic tradition. His works are often described as both earthy and minimalist, embodying a strong connection to Japanese heritage while embracing a modern aesthetic. This unique approach has garnered attention both in Japan and internationally.
Asano’s creations have been selected for prestigious exhibitions, including the Japan Traditional Art Crafts Exhibition and the Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition, solidifying his reputation as a leading artist. His work has also found a strong presence in the art market, with pieces auctioned for prices ranging from $6,125 to $12,090. Notably, in 2023, a 33 cm cylindrical stoneware vase with a design similar to this dish sold at Sotheby’s London for $12,090, highlighting the rising interest in his creations both nationally and globally.
Asano’s pieces are also held in prestigious collections, such as Tokyo’s Artizon Museum and the Brooklyn Museum, captivating audiences worldwide. As an artist with a career spanning several decades, Asano Masaru remains a prominent figure in contemporary ceramics, celebrated for his ability to blend tradition with modernity.
This stoneware plaque with an inlaid design can be used as a presentation dish or wall decor, thanks to artist-installed holes on the back, providing versatile display options.
It has its original signed wood box.

View AllJapan, Spectacular Ceramic Vase by Akira Arakawa circa 2000
Located in PARIS, FR
Akira Arakawa, born in 1950 in Hamamatsu and a graduate of Kokushikan University’s Department of Architecture, has carved a unique path in Japanese ceramics. Although trained in architecture, he is a self-taught ceramic artist, renowned for his exceptional mastery of crystallized glazes. This intricate technique demands precise temperature control, reaching extreme levels of 1250°C to 1300°C to melt the glaze components thoroughly. As the temperature slowly decreases, crystals emerge, forming delicate flower or snowflake patterns on the glazed surface. By adding zinc or rutile, Arakawa can manipulate the size and shape of these crystals.
This meticulous process results in captivating works like this deeply carved vase, where blue crystals stand out against earthy backgrounds, creating striking contrasts between crystallized and vitrified areas. Arakawa’s technical excellence has earned him numerous accolades, particularly in Japan’s ceramic competitions and exhibitions.
Arakawa’s work has been featured in prestigious events, including multiple selections for the Nissin Noodle Bowl...
