Description from the seller
Item Description
This is a magnificent large Shino bowl by the renowned contemporary Japanese ceramic artist 山田和 Yamada Kazu (born 1954), who studied under the legendary master Kato Tokuro. This impressive piece features a scalloped rim design (輪花 "rinka"), creating an elegant wavy edge that enhances its visual appeal.
The bowl showcases the distinctive characteristics of Shino ware, with its warm, rich glaze that displays beautiful natural variations in color and texture. The substantial size and weight of this piece make it exceptionally versatile - perfect for use as a serving bowl for cuisine, a presentation dish for confections, a water basin (suiban), or as a striking decorative display piece.
Yamada Kazu was born in 1954 into a distinguished ceramic family in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. He graduated from Osaka University of Arts in 1976 and immediately established his own kiln in Echizen. He studied under Kato Tokuro until the master's death in 1985, inheriting his philosophy of creating modern interpretations of traditional Momoyama period tea ceramics. Yamada's works are held in prestigious collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London.
This piece represents Yamada's masterful understanding of Shino techniques combined with his contemporary artistic vision. The bold form and generous proportions reflect the confidence and skill of a mature artist working at the height of his powers. The condition is excellent, with no damage, allowing the full beauty of this exceptional work to be appreciated.

Artist Profile
Yamada Kazu (山田和, born 1954) is a highly respected contemporary Japanese ceramic artist specializing in modern interpretations of traditional Japanese pottery styles, particularly Shino and Oribe wares. Born into a renowned family of potters in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture, he is the son of Yamada Kenkichi, a celebrated Nitten exhibitor, and nephew of Yamada Jozan, who was designated a Living National Treasure in 1998.
After graduating from Osaka University of Arts in 1976, where he studied under the influential avant-garde ceramicist Suzuki Osamu, Yamada established his first kiln in Echizen. His most significant mentor was the legendary Kato Tokuro (1897-1985), who devoted his life to reviving and modernizing Momoyama period ceramics. Under Kato's guidance until 1985, Yamada developed his distinctive approach of honoring tradition while creating bold contemporary expressions.
Yamada's work is characterized by his mastery of multiple traditional styles including Shino, Oribe, and Seto wares, each reimagined with modern sensibility. His Shino pieces are particularly noted for their rich, fluid glazes with warm reddish-browns or bold white surfaces with striking iron decorations. In 1988, he expanded his practice internationally, building a kiln in Germany and participating in documentary film projects.
His achievements have earned him representation in major museums worldwide, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, where his Enbu Shino and Oribe tea wares are part of the permanent collection. He continues to exhibit regularly in Japan and internationally, maintaining studios and working kilns that produce works of exceptional quality and artistic vision.

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.
