Description
This Bizen flower vase is by the highly anticipated and popular artist Koichiro Isezaki, the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. It features a mysterious silhouette that is a unique variation of a crane-neck flower vase. Its onion-shaped form is versatile, allowing for both tall, vertical arrangements and expansive, wide ones. The dynamic 'goma' (ash glaze) created by wood-firing in an anagama kiln serves as an accent within the elongated form, adding depth and three-dimensionality to the piece. The deep 'hidasuki' (fire-cord) markings decorate the surface with rich color, naturally enhancing the hues of the flowers placed within.
Signed wooden box (shiho-san)
Diameter cm x Diameter cm x Height cm
About 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 the Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki. Koichiro aspired to be a ceramic artist from an early age. After graduating from the Sculpture Department of Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He trained for approximately 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 the guidance of his father and his father's apprentices. In 2002, he submitted work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time, where it was selected.
