This is a work by Kinsai Fujii, one of the leading artists in the world of Arita ware. This beautiful small vase combines cherry blossoms, one of Japan's most iconic flowers, with the rich and lustrous purple overglaze colors characteristic of Arita ware. The delicately painted cherry blossoms are complemented by a traditional Seigaiha wave pattern in the background, creating an exceptionally elegant and auspicious impression.
The piece combines two traditional Arita ware painting techniques: "Sometsuke" underglaze painting and "Nishiki" overglaze enameling. Sometsuke is a technique in which designs are painted directly onto the bisque-fired porcelain body before glazing. Nishiki, by contrast, is an overglaze technique in which vivid colors such as red and green are added after the porcelain has already been glazed and fired. Each technique presents its own challenges, and combining the two requires an exceptionally high level of technical skill, as well as a sophisticated sense of composition to bring the entire design together.
At 17.5 cm in height, this is a compact vase that fits beautifully into contemporary living spaces. Its elegant size also makes it an excellent choice as a gift.
From wheel throwing and intricate painting to the final firing, this piece brings together the finest ceramic techniques in a single work and represents an outstanding example of Kinsai Fujii's artistry.

 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. |
