This is a work by the predecessor and first-generation master of Sh inemon Kiln, Sh inichiro Baba (posthumously Sh inemon), a kiln that represents Arita ware. The piece features a floral design expressed in sometsuke (blue-and-white underglaze).
Today, Sh inemon Kiln is recognized as a lead ing studio in the yohen technique, a method that requires masterful control of glazes. However, this work is not yohen but sometsuke. The reason is that this vase was created by the found ing master himself dur ing his career. Through sometsuke, the fundamental pa int ing technique of Arita ware, one can clearly see how he demonstrated his artistry and skill. S ince the current Sh inemon Kiln rarely produces sometsuke works, this piece is now highly rare and valuable.
Though modest in size, it has sufficient capacity to hold flowers gracefully, mak ing it an ideal shape for arrang ing plants indoors. Its versatile form allows it to be placed anywhere, add ing a touch of quiet color to everyday life. While floral in theme, the design avoids strict realism, opt ing instead for a decorative expression that gives an abstract and ref ined impression. The bold deconstruction of motifs sparks the viewer’s imag ination, evok ing a unique beauty where tradition and modernity harmonize.
From the perspective of technique, this work is executed in sometsuke. This involves pa int ing on the bisque-fired body before glaz ing. With the dist inctive flow of the brush and subtle touch unique to this technique, a delicate world of decorative imagery is vividly conveyed. Because the absorbent bisque body does not allow corrections, every l ine must be executed in a s ingle decisive stroke. It is a one-shot endeavor that requires perseverance, concentration, and compositional skill?all of which come together in the completion of this piece.

 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. |
