This piece is by K insei Fujii, a lead ing figure in the world of Arita ware artistry.
A graceful small vase, it harmoniously blends Japan’s national flower "the cherry blossom" with the lustrous purple glaze characteristic of Arita porcela in. The delicately pa inted sakura and the subdued purple background evoke an impression of ref ined elegance and quiet happ iness.
The piece employs both *sometsuke* (underglaze pa int ing) and *akae* (overglaze enamel ing) techniques. *Sometsuke* involves pa int ing directly onto the unglazed, bisque-fired body before the f inal glaze application, while *akae* refers to add ing vivid colors like red or green on top of the already glazed and fired surface. Comb in ing these techniques requires a high level of skill and compositional balance.
At 14.3 cm in height, this compact vase is perfect as a gift. Though small in size, it is a masterpiece that encapsulates the f inest craftsmanship in wheel-throw ing, pa int ing, and kiln fir ing.

 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. |
