Description
This is a new Bizen black sake cup by Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki, an artist who continues to lead the Bizen ware world with an inexhaustible creative power. This piece is generously coated with *goma* (ash glaze), creating a black and gold appearance reminiscent of *katamigawari* (half-and-half) styling. As if by a wonderful prank of the kiln gods, natural glaze that had adhered to the inner wall of the kiln dripped down, mixing with the black to create a gradation from white to blue. This lovely gift adds even more color to the black scenery, making it truly magnificent.
Signed wooden box to be provided at a later date (please allow some time for shipment)
Diameter 7.0cm x 6.8cm x Height 5.7cm Jun Isezaki was born as the second son of Yozan Isezaki, an expert in ornamental pottery, and learned ceramics from a young age. He entered the field of pottery professionally after graduating from the Special Art Course at Okayama University in 1959. His work covers a wide range, from traditional pieces such as vases, plates, and tea ceramics to sculptural works like ceramic murals and objects. In his creation process, he places great importance on forming and firing. His style is characterized by a modern sensibility that makes the most of his materials and kilns (anagama, climbing kilns, and electric kilns). He has also released numerous works as a leading figure in relief art. He became a regular member of the Japan Kōgei Association in 1966. From 1978, he served as a special art lecturer at Okayama University for nine years. In 1998, he and his older brother Mitsuru were both certified as Holders of Important Intangible Cultural Properties of Okayama Prefecture, and in the same year, he became the Secretary General of the Chugoku Branch of the Japan Kōgei Association. He was then designated a Living National Treasure (Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Property) in July 2004. Award history: Numerous awards including the Kaneshige Toyo Award, Okayama Prefecture Cultural Encouragement Award, Sanyo Shimbun Award, and the Excellence Award at the Chanoyu Modeling Exhibition / Prefecture Exhibition Jury Member
