https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/松井康成 This yunomi tea cup is a refined work by Matsui Kōsei, one of Japan’s most important modern ceramic artists, celebrated for his mastery of nerikomi (marbled clay) technique. The vessel is formed by layering and carving differently colored clays, creating rhythmic, wave-like patterns in soft blue and white that flow naturally across the surface. Rather than relying on glaze decoration, the design is intrinsic to the body itself, revealing the artist’s deep control over material and process. The gentle cylindrical form, subtly uneven and hand-shaped, offers a calm tactile presence well suited to everyday tea use. The interior continues the marbled pattern, enhancing the sense of unity between exterior and interior. Accompanied by original documentation, this piece exemplifies Matsui Kōsei’s pursuit of harmony, restraint, and quiet movement, and stands as a fine example of postwar Japanese ceramic art grounded in both innovation and tradition. Matsui Kōsei was a leading Japanese ceramic artist and was designated a Living National Treasure for his mastery of the nerikomi (layered clay) technique. By stacking, slicing, and shaping differently colored clays, he created intricate patterns that emerge from the clay body itself rather than surface decoration. His work is distinguished by structural clarity, rhythmic order, and a restrained sense of movement. Bridging traditional craft and modern aesthetics, Matsui played a pivotal role in shaping postwar Japanese ceramic art and elevating nerikomi to an internationally recognized art form.
