Item Description
This is a large-scale Japanese ceramic vessel titled "曙光" (Shokō, meaning "Dawn Light"), a work of considerable presence and artistic ambition.
Artist: 泰田久史 Yasuda Hisashi
The piece features a boldly organic form with an undulating rim, rising from a stable base to a wide, expressive mouth. The surface is covered in a richly layered glaze in tones of deep blue, green, and warm brown, creating a dynamic, landscape-like effect reminiscent of light breaking across water or earth at dawn — a quality that resonates directly with the title.
The scale and weight of the piece (approximately 14.8 kg) speak to the technical mastery required in its creation. The glaze application is complex and deliberate, with pooling, flowing, and textural variation across the surface. The interior is partially glazed, consistent with a functional vessel form treated as a sculptural object.
A signature or seal mark is present on the underside of the piece.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
