Jar / Ash-Glazed / Kyoto / Fujihira Shin
Shinsha Jar by Fujihira Shin
One of Japan's most unique and prolific ceramic artists was Kyoto's Fujihira Shin(1922-2012). He has essayed some of the most charming, intriguing, and of 'another world' ceramic pieces during his long career. He's been honored with museum retrospective exhibitions at Musee Tomo in Tokyo and Paramita in Mie museums and issue no.76(2003) of Honoho Geijutsu was devoted to him. His honors and exhibitions are too long to list here, suffice to say he is a major, eclectic ceramic artist. More about him and also past exhibition slide shows can be viewed at e-yakimono.net This is a sweet little jar with a richly crackled glaze in powder blues, reds and purples over the hakeme brushed body; Fujihira also applied some relief flowers motifs on the front. In perfect condition with a signed box, 17.2cm.tallx16.6, stamped on base. This work was exhibited at Kandori n Tokyo, the owners of Musee Tomo.
