Description
Yu Fujiwara's designs are characterized by their thickness and heaviness.
However, this work is from his early to mid period, and those characteristics are almost absent.
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 vary the pattern and enhance its usability.
Furthermore, it turns out that he considered placing Botamochi on the 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 instance in the ceramics industry of both a parent and child receiving this designation.)
He passed away in 2001.
