Several leaves of varying sizes are arranged asymmetrically across the upper part of the body. Signed on the base.

Height: 29 cm — Diameter: 21 cm
Fujii Shumei (1936–2017)

Selected several times for Nitten and the Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition. Recipient of the Saga Prefecture Cultural Achievement Award in 1994. Some of his works are held in public collections, including the British Museum.
