Description
After completing his apprenticeship under Jun Isezaki, Sohei Takashima received the Contemporary Ceramic Art Encouragement Award from the Japan Ceramic Society, marking an impressive debut as an independent artist. This is a newly released Bizen Hidasuki Guinomi by the artist.
Having studied under Jun Isezaki, the fifth Living National Treasure of Bizen ware, Takashima established his own studio in Ushimado, Setouchi City. This Guinomi features his distinctive approach to Hidasuki decoration.
The Hidasuki displays exceptionally vivid yet soft and elegant coloring. Takashima reportedly achieves these delicate tones by applying iron oxide to the surface and then removing it, carefully controlling the final appearance of the markings.
Viewed from a distance, the coloring is reminiscent of the Hidasuki produced in Toyo Kaneshige’s climbing kiln. Takashima’s boundless curiosity and willingness to experiment with new techniques are truly remarkable.
The traces left by the iron oxide treatment also give the entire vessel a beautifully aged and timeworn character. Combined with the elegant Hidasuki, this creates an atmosphere reminiscent of works by the great masters of earlier generations.
The refined form that complements the magnificent Hidasuki is equally fascinating. Although relatively small compared with many contemporary Bizen Guinomi, the vessel possesses a remarkably rich and concentrated presence.
