Description
This is a Bizen flower vase by the highly anticipated and popular artist Koichiro Isezaki, the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. It is an innovative vase with an eye-catching, unique form reminiscent of a melon. The rim is significantly constricted, and when viewed from directly above, it even looks like a five-yen coin. The piece is exceptionally well-fired, and the way the sesame ash (goma) glaze flows down the back, along with the vivid sangiri (kiln-altered color patterns), is striking. The vermilion of the shell marks stands out beautifully against the yellow of the sesame ash and the white of the sangiri, making it a piece that can be fully enjoyed even without flowers. This modern flower vase, which reflects the unique sensibility of Koichiro Isezaki—who also trained in New York—would be highly appreciated as a tasteful gift.
Signed wooden box (shōhō-san style)
Diameter 13.3 cm x Diameter 13.2 cm x Height 20.7 cm
Regarding gift wrapping
Koichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious name in Bizen ware; his grandfather was Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki, and he himself aspired to pottery from an early age. After graduating from the Sculpture Department of Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He studied pottery for about two years under Jeff Shapiro, a ceramic artist based in New York City, which greatly broadened his perspective on art and pottery. After returning to Japan in 2000, he continued his training under his father's guidance alongside his father's other disciples. In 2002, he submitted his work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time and was selected.
