This is a work by Kusuo Baba, the second-generation master of Shinemon Kiln, one of the leading kilns of Arita ware.
The dawn of spring. Against a clear green expanse reminiscent of the stillness of the heavens, a crimson horizon of extraordinary intensity rises like the first light of day - the "Akebono," or dawn.
Within the pale, translucent blue-green glaze, layers of crimson kiln transformations emerge, as though a tranquil sky were gradually being colored by the light of daybreak. Across the dignified, rounded form of the vase, the contrasting tones of blue-green and crimson resonate beautifully with one another.
The flowing beauty created by the extreme heat of the kiln achieves an extraordinary sense of balance across the surface of this work. The interaction between flame and glaze inside the kiln can never be reproduced in exactly the same way, giving this vase a unique landscape and expression found nowhere else. Combining profound tranquility with remarkable strength, the scenery across its surface brings the viewer a sense of aesthetic calm, much like the stillness experienced at dawn.
Born from the profound ceramic tradition of Arita, this exceptional vase brings a sense of pure tranquility and commanding presence to the space in which it is displayed.

 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. |
