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 non-existent.
This work was created in the middle of his career.
He is highly skilled at creating fire patterns with refractory clay known as Botamochi.
He placed a semi-circular Botamochi on the rim of the Guinomi to alter the pattern and improve usability.
It also appears that he intended to place 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.
(This marked the first time in the ceramics industry that both a parent and child have been so designated.)
He passed away in 2001.
