Item Description:
Behold the robust character and profound craftsmanship of Teru Okada's Bizen ware, a piece rich in the heritage of one of Japan's most cherished pottery traditions. Okada Teru, who apprenticed under the legendary Living National Treasure, Fujiwara Yu, brings forward this elegant and stout creation, marked by its austere and natural glaze-less beauty. Recognized at the Japanese Traditional Craft Exhibition in 1975 and lauded with awards including the Minister of Education Award at the Middle Day International Ceramic Exhibition, Okada's mastery is reflected in this vessel. The pottery's deep earthen hues and the distinctive markings from the firing process make this piece a living testimony to the Bizen legacy. Okada, a former professor at Kurashiki University of Science and the Arts and creator of the Bizen ware wall "Dance · Praise · Brilliance" at JR Maizuru Line's Nishi-Maizuru station, instills in this work a narrative of both cultural reverence and innovative artistry.
