Description
This is "Torano-yume" (Dream of a Tiger) by Hikaru Shimamura, an artist who inherits the long-standing tradition of *saikumono* (artistic ceramic craft) with a unique sensibility and creative power. It is a work that stimulates the viewer's sensibilities through the artist's characteristic imaginative approach. The tiger, expressed as a cube, captures all the essential traits of a tiger through minimalist design. The striped patterns were created by drawing freehand lines, followed by white inlay to complete the distinctive look. The precision and uniform thickness of these lines are truly magnificent, clearly demonstrating the high level of Master Shimamura's skill.
Comes in a signed wooden box (shiho-san style).
17.3cm length × 11.5cm width × 15.3cm height
Born in Osafune-cho, Okayama Prefecture in 1942, Hikaru Shimamura graduated from the Painting Department of Naniwa College and began his pottery career through self-study. He produces his craft works by utilizing both hand-forming and mold techniques. Many of his designs are based on familiar subjects such as cats, sparrows, climbing kilns, and pine firewood. He became independent in 1978 after building an anagama kiln in Osafune-cho. In 1992, he built a climbing kiln in the Kuku-i area. He has held solo exhibitions in Tokyo, Okayama, and New York.
