A Japanese ceramic flat vase (henko) titled “Autumn Grasses,” created by Yuuji Yamamoto (art name: Shiwa). The rounded body is covered in a warm beige glaze with natural iron speckling, over which autumn grasses are delicately painted in earthy tones with subtle red accents. The form is compact yet volumetric, and the slightly narrowed neck enhances the silhouette. Comes with the original signed wooden box and cloth. The speckled glaze surface reflects the firing process, creating organic variations and depth that cannot be reproduced. The decoration integrates with the glaze rather than sitting on top, giving the work a quiet but tactile presence. Artist Profile Yuuji Yamamoto (山本雄次), working under the art name Shiwa (支波), is a Kyoto-based ceramic artist associated with the Kiyomizu ware tradition. Active mainly in the late Showa period, he exhibited in regional ceramic exhibitions and developed a style combining traditional seasonal motifs with softly textured glazes characteristic of Kyoto ceramics.
