Description
This is a Bizen kiln-transmutation square vessel by Koichiro Isezaki, the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and a highly promising artist. The work is defined by its sharp, crisp, angular form, complemented by a magnificent landscape created by varied ash glazing and a radiating crimson hue. Mottled scorched-sesame glaze spreads across the surface, beautifully bordered by yellow-sesame markings. Gazing at it, one feels an unfathomable power, as if the surface were a nebula, the sesame spots a galaxy, and the dark, sweeping ash glaze deep space—capturing a piece of the cosmos itself in this masterpiece.
Signed wooden box (shiho-san)
Mouth diameter 5.1cm x body diameter 8.2cm x body diameter 8.0cm x height 27.1cm
About Gift Wrapping
Koichiro Isezaki was born as the eldest son of Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki. The Isezaki family is a prestigious name in Bizen ware; his grandfather was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Yozan Isezaki, and his uncle was the Intangible Cultural Property holder Mitsuru Isezaki. He aspired to become a potter from a young age. After graduating from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University in 1994, he studied abroad in the United States. He studied ceramics for about two years under Jeff Shapiro, a potter based in New York City, which greatly broadened his perspective on art and ceramics. After returning to Japan in 2000, he trained under the guidance of his father and his father's apprentices. In 2002, he submitted his work to the Tanabe Museum of Art Tea Ceremony Exhibition for the first time and was selected.
