AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description:
This sculptural Shino ceramic flower vase is the work of Nakashima Ichiyō (中島一耀), a prominent Japanese ceramic artist born in 1949 (Showa 24) in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture. This piece features an organically distorted form with hand-built asymmetry and faceted surfaces. The soft pink and milky white glaze creates a striking surface punctuated by pinholes and natural crackling, a signature of Shino ware. The unglazed base displays the artist’s carved signature, and the vase is accompanied by its original tomobako (wooden storage box), cloth, and artist biography certificate.
This flower vessel embodies the raw elegance of Mino ceramics, showcasing modern interpretations of classic Shino glazes in a contemporary form. A superb choice for collectors or interior enthusiasts.

He has held numerous solo exhibitions, including at the Kyoto Nomura Museum of Art and various Mitsukoshi department stores.
He has received awards at the Japan Tea and Flower Ceramic Art Exhibition and has been selected for exhibitions such as the Issuikai and Gifu Prefectural Art Exhibitions.

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.
