Description
Yu Fujiwara's designs are characterized by their thickness and weight.
However, as this work dates from his early to mid-period, those characteristics are barely present.
This guinomi is a work from his later years.
He was highly skilled at creating fire patterns using refractory clay known as botamochi.
He placed a semi-circular botamochi on the rim of the guinomi to alter the pattern and improve its usability.
Furthermore, it appears he intended for the botamochi on the back and inside of the guinomi to delight those who used it.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1932 as the eldest son of Kei Fujiwara.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1996.
(The first time in the ceramics industry that both a parent and child have been so designated.)
He passed away in 2001.
