Beautiful shaped ceramic vase.

Good condition

Item Description:
This striking Bizen ware piece is a testament to the distinctive craftsmanship of Masayuki Shimizu, born in 1943 in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture. A student of the renowned Togaku Mori, a designated intangible cultural property of Okayama Prefecture, Shimizu has established his own anagama kiln, carving out a unique identity in the world of Japanese ceramics. The piece exhibits the captivating "yohen," a natural ash glaze phenomenon, which emerges solely from the interaction with wood flame during firing, guaranteeing that no two pieces are ever alike. Shimizu's works, often recognized and awarded at the Japan Traditional Crafts Exhibition, embody a profound depth and rustic beauty, cherished for their unglazed surfaces which highlight the raw and elemental beauty of the clay.

Artist Profile:
Masayuki Shimizu is a distinguished potter who studied under Togaku Mori, himself an intangible cultural asset of Okayama Prefecture. Born in Kanagawa and having honed his skills in the traditional arts, Shimizu independently constructed his anagama kiln and has garnered numerous accolades for his work in traditional Japanese craft exhibitions. His signature "yohen" technique, which refrains from using any glaze and instead relies on the unique marks left by the wood fire's flames, ensures each of his creations is a singular expression of his artistic philosophy.
