Description

This Tokkuri was made by Ken Fujiwara before 1970.
He built a large kiln in 1970, and this Tokkuri was fired in a Noborigama kiln.
The design of the spout is similar to that of Toyo Kaneshige.
The body features his preferred round ball shape, a design that conveys the strength typical of his work.
It is a simple kiln-fired pattern, but the quality of the clay elevates the piece.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1924.
He began learning about Bizen ware from his uncle, Kei Fujiwara, in 1946.
He built a large tunnel kiln (Anagama) in 1970.
