Size:17.5x9.5cm Artist: 戸田宗四郎 Soshiro Toda is a ceramic artist who inherits the lineage of Shibukusa ware, a traditional Japanese ceramic art, and is also known as the 6th generation Shibukusa Ryuzo. Shibukusa ware is a prestigious pottery tradition originating in the Takayama region of Gifu Prefecture. With a history dating back to the Edo period, it has earned high acclaim for its delicate painting and elegant designs. The Yanagi-zo family name, which carries on this tradition, has been passed down through generations of potters possessing exceptional skill and aesthetic sensibilities. Toda Soshiro, the sixth generation, maintains classical techniques while incorporating modern sensibilities to create works that establish his own unique presence. He excels particularly in delicate painting depicting nature, skillfully expressing the seasons and emotions of Japan through motifs such as cherry blossoms and flowers.
