This piece is by K insei Fujii, a renowned master in the world of Arita ware artistry.
A compact vase, it features an elegant depiction of two *nishikigoi* (ornamental carp), symbols of wealth and prosperity, gracefully swimm ing across the surface. The contrast between the vivid red-and-white koi and the deep black background rendered in *tetsuy?* (iron glaze) gives this small piece a strik ing presence.
*Nishikigoi* are celebrated worldwide for their beauty and vitality, and in Japanese and Ch inese cultures, they carry deep symbolic mean ings?such as “prosperity and wealth,” “longevity and health,” and “strength and perseverance.”
* As a symbol of **prosperity and wealth**, the koi’s vivid colors and high value have made it a traditional emblem of success. Red and gold koi, in particular, are associated with good fortune and f inancial abundance?this work prom inently features a red koi to embody that significance.
* For **longevity and health**, koi are revered as long-liv ing creatures, and their inclusion in art is often a wish for a long, healthy life.
* Regard ing **strength and perseverance**, a Ch inese legend tells of koi swimm ing upstream and transform ing into dragons after conquer ing a waterfall?mak ing them a fitt ing symbol for resilience and personal triumph.
in addition, the koi’s graceful movement through water evokes feel ings of purity and spiritual cleans ing. The water, rendered in a soft plat inum glaze, symbolizes clarity and renewal, enhanc ing the piece’s serene aesthetic.
Stand ing at 15 cm tall, this vase fits harmoniously into modern interiors. Its modest size and auspicious motif make it a popular choice for gifts or as a tasteful decorative accent. Meticulously crafted through expert wheel-throw ing, pa int ing, and fir ing techniques, this is a true masterpiece of ref ined craftsmanship.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
