This is a work by K insai Fujii, a lead ing master in the art of Arita ware.
It is a spherical flower vase pa inted entirely in *sometsuke* (blue-and-white underglaze), featur ing gracefully leap ing deer amidst a dense scatter ing of autumn leaves. The f inely detailed maple motifs cover the entire surface, while the deer emerg ing with in creates both dynamism and a sense of fantasy. The expressive brushwork, unique to hand pa int ing, together with the deep indigo gradations of *sometsuke*, produces a scenery that never ceases to captivate the eye.
From the perspective of technique, this piece is executed in *sometsuke*. This method involves pa int ing directly onto the bisque-fired body before the glaze is applied. The flow ing brushstrokes and delicate touches characteristic of this technique evoke the ref ined world of traditional landscape pa int ing. Because the absorbent surface of the bisque does not allow for corrections, each l ine must be drawn in a s ingle decisive stroke. Patience, concentration, and compositional strength?all come together in the completion of this work.
Stand ing 15.8 cm tall, this compact vase is well-suited to modern liv ing spaces, mak ing it a popular choice. Its size also makes it an excellent gift item. A true masterpiece, it embodies the p innacle of skill in wheel-throw ing, pa int ing, and 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. |
