Description
Yu Fujiwara's designs are characterized by their thickness and weight.
This tokkuri is a work from his later years.
He was highly skilled at creating fire patterns using refractory clay, a technique known as botamochi.
Half of the body of this tokkuri features a red clay base with refractory clay, or botamochi, applied to it.
It appears he intended to place the botamochi on the back of the tokkuri as a way to delight those who used it.
Born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1932, he was the eldest son of Kei Fujiwara.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1996.
(This marked the first time in the ceramics industry that both a parent and child received this designation.)
He passed away in 2001.
