Description from the seller
This art tea bowl, handcrafted by a renowned Japanese ceramic artist, features a rustic, sandy body paired with a naturally crackled white glaze, and clean, cobalt blue geometric patterns that exude a modern aesthetic.
Taro Kamota, born in 1963 in Mashiko-cho, Tochigi Prefecture, is the second-generation ceramic artist of the Kamota Kiln. His father, Shoji Kamota 1933-1983, was a highly influential and innovative ceramic artist in postwar Japan.
After his father's passing in 1983, Taro Kamota dedicated himself to ceramic art. His works abandon traditional wheel-throwing techniques, opting instead for hand-sculpting and hand-glazing with his own self-developed glazes. While inheriting his father's free-spirited creative core, he has developed a unique personal artistic style.
His first solo exhibition was held in 1986 at the Aoyama Midori Gallery in Tokyo. Subsequent works have been exhibited at various art galleries, including Keio Department Store and the Kanjitsuri Contemporary Ceramics Gallery at the Hotel New Otani.
The object comes with its original wooden offering box, the surface of which bears the author's handwritten inscription.
