Japanese Echizen Ceramic Tsubo Fujita Jurouemon VIII
About the Item
A Japanese storage jar (tsubo) made in the ancient Echizen ware tradition by Fujita Jurouemon VIII. Echizen is one of the six ancient kilns in Japan, directly influenced by the Sue ware of the Heian period. Echizen ware is fired without applied glaze or decoration. Its surface is only marked with the natural ash splashes during the firing process. It is appreciated for its simple and robust form with an archaic appearance and randomly occurred surface texture. Fired at high temperature, Echizen yaki is a form of earthenware between pottery and porcelain, also called yakishime or semi-porcelain.
Fujita Jurouemon VIII (1922-2008) used the most traditional kiln and assumed the family head of the eight generation in 1967.
In 1975, he received Fukui Prefecture Traditional Kogei Excellent Successor Award.
The tsubo jar on offer is of a robust form, hand-built from coils and random ash glaze deposit on the surface. It reveals different view from various side. The base was not cut even, resulting in a slightly tilting form from certain angel as shown. It is marked on one side with a carved cross, the insignia of the artist. It comes with a wood storage box (tomobako) with inscription in Kanji (Echizen, Tsubo, and artist's name and seal). Also a paper label card and a brochure of the artist's info and technique.

- Massive Ceramic Jar Tsubo by Japanese Potter Tsujimura YuiBy Tsujimura YuiLocated in Atlanta, GAA massive and magnificent ceramic Tsubo jar by Japanese potter Tsujimura Yui (1975-). Inspired by the techniques and aesthetics of the early medieval Sue ware, the artist hand builds an impressive voluminous oviform, irregular by intention, from a combination clay from both Shigaraki and Iga, coarse by nature and rich in feldspar. Fired on their sides horizontally, the surface of the thick wall tsubo is covered with streaks and drips of natural ash glazes in shades of green and blue, forming an abstract and mesmerizing pattern that resembles geothermal earth activity. Additional ashes are blown during the firing to accentuate the textures. Most recognizably, there are many circular marks scattered on the surface of his archaic looking vessels. That is resulted from using stacked tea bowls to prevent the conjoining of the vessels. After the firing, the stacked vessels are chipped away, leaving behind those circular impression, as well as deep pools of glaze which gather where they were placed. Born in 1975, Tsujimura Yui is the first son of the contemporary ceramic artist Tsujimura Shiro...Category

- Large Contemporary Ceramic Tsubo Jar by Kai TsujimuraLocated in Atlanta, GAA massive stoneware tsubo floor jar created by Japanese contemporary ceramic artist Kai Tsujimura (1976-). The heavy jar with its impressive volume was made in the tradition of Iga ware with local coarse sandy clay that turned reddish after the firing. It took its shape from heavy medieval storage jars with a wide-open mouth. For a nearly identical form, see an Echizen jar from Heian period (794–1185) in the collection of MET (Accession Number: 1977.261). The surface showcases scattered white crystalized feldspars and a green vitrified ash glaze cascade down the body (known as biidoro in Japanese - after the Portuguese word for glass vidoro). These is a globular shape impressed on the jar. It is a signature practice of the Tsujimura potter family by stacking bowls between the pieces in the kiln during the firing, resulting in an accidental but iconic aethetic (Kai and Yui Tsujimura...Category

- Large Japanese Satsuma Ceramic Vase KinkozanBy KinkozanLocated in Atlanta, GAA large Japanese ceramic vase from the end of Meiji period circa 1890-1910s by Kinkozan (1645-1927). One of the largest studio manufacturers of the export ceramics at the time based in Kyoto. In the typical style of satsuma made at the turn of 20th century, the vase is elaborately decorated with a rather unusual kinran-de (gold paint) and green enamel highlight on a mottled brown background. The painterly decoration depicts a large seasonal floral arrangement in a circular fashion. Besides the obviously superb craftsmanship, what sets this particular vase apart from many lower quality and mass-produced pieces is its tone-on-tone color pallet that is visually somber and the small and sensitive details that heralds the change of the seasons. When the viewer goes beyond the first casual glimpse of the blossom and foliage, one would notice that on the edges of certain leaves as well as along the stalks, there accumulates a very thin layer of the white dust that represents the frost. The flower in bloom are chrysanthemums. Despite of being splendid, they are the messengers of the autumn. The large lotus leaf was subtly rendered in a bended and slightly withered manner, just past its prime. Although the lotus is still in bloom, the prominent seed pod indicates it may be the last for the season. The sentimental capture of the change of the seasons is not unusual in Japanese art. This vase poetically represents such a subtle transition from summer to fall, perhaps depicting the very first frost. The neck of the vase is also slightly unusual with two rolled rings...Category
