Vase / Iga / Nara / Tsujimura Kai
Iga Vase by Tsujimura Kai
Tsujimura Kai (b.1976) creates grand Shigaraki, Iga, Karatsu and Kohiki pieces in line with the aesthetics of his famous father Tsujimura Shiro. Kai, along with his brother Yui, are quickly making a name for themselves in the Japanese pottery world. Deep yet simple, Kai's works carry a sincere understanding and reverence for traditional Japanese aesthetics -in other words, he is far "older" than his age belies. This ripped and torn Iga vase is powerful and sublime at the same time; the wild and unruly exterior embraces the rounded and 'shy' inner vase in a passionate clay embrace; again one flower. In perfect condition--(http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/apr/24/change-your-life-beauty-imperfection) with a signed box, 36cm.tallx19x15, signed on side.
