Description

Toshu Yamamoto was known as the master of the potter's wheel.
He favored symmetrical, refined forms.
This is a late work from his career.
This flower vase combines the characteristics of both old Bizen ware and Yamamoto-style Bizen ware.
The overall design follows old Bizen traditions but has been sharpened to suit the artist's own aesthetic.
Goma and Sangiri glazes have accented the red clay body with fire patterns, further enhancing its antique Bizen-like appearance.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1906.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1987.
He passed away in 1994.
