Tenmoku-Green Glazed Vase by Yasuda Zenko
Yasuda Zenko(b.1926) graduated from Kyoto Craft-Fabric University(Kyoto Kogei Seni Daigaku) in 1949 where he majored in the making of kilns. After that he studied with Kiyomizu RokubeeVl(1901-1980). Yasuda has been a staple of Nitten ever since and was awarded the Japan Ceramic Society Prize in 1958. In 1964 his work was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Before Yasuda took on the name Zenko he was known as Tomohiko. This is a very mystical vase due to the unique black tenmoku and green glazing that is quite haunting. In perfect condition with a signed box, 27.0cm.tallx17, stamped on base, and dates to 1972.
