Description from the seller
An extraordinary and extremely rare opportunity for true connoisseurs and aesthetes of Japanese ceramics. This exclusive set unites in a single stylistic dialogue the 6 Great Historic Kilns of Japan, with works created directly by the greatest masters of Nipponese slipware art: no fewer than 5 of the 6 authors hold the title of Living National Treasure.
The Mastery of the Masters:
A symphony of legendary signatures that have shaped the history of art ceramics:
Karatsu: Nakazato Tarouemon
Hagi: Sakata Deika
Bizen: Nanzan Kiln
Kyo-yaki: Kiyomizu Rokubei
Shigaraki: Takahashi Rakusai
Mino: Kato Koubei
A Journey Through the 6 Ancient Kilns:
Each guinomi captures the pure essence of its region, offering a magnificent contrast of glazes, textures, clays, and firing techniques.
Paulownia wooden box bearing the autographs and seals (Hanko) of all 6 masters. An archival detail of priceless historical and commercial value.
Original Shiori: A complete information booklet with photos and detailed descriptions of the individual works.
Finding single works by these masters is already a rare event; obtaining a coordinated set born as a unique collaboration, custodian of the tradition of the 6 historic kilns and complete with the original multi-signed box, makes this object a one-of-a-kind piece with extremely high artistic value.
