Perfect for collectors of Japanese items or those who appreciate unique and authentic pieces. ■The artist, Kinsai Fujii, was born in 1976 in Arita, Saga Prefecture, the birthplace of Japanese porcelain. Determined to pursue a career in ceramics, he studied under leading figures in the field, including Manji Inoue, a Living National Treasure of Arita ware, and contemporary master craftsmen such as Tomio Kawahara, Shizen Kanmu, Ichigen Terui, and Shigeyoshi Kajiwara. Cherishing the spirit of handcrafted and hand-painted works, he has carved out a unique artistic style by creating a world of aesthetic sensibility that harmonizes the traditions of Arita ware with a contemporary sensibility. He has received numerous prestigious awards at various exhibitions, and his works are held in the collections of renowned art museums. Additionally, his solo exhibitions are held at art museums and department stores across the country, drawing crowds of art enthusiasts. Crafted using techniques rooted in the long history and tradition of Arita ware, this piece is created on a hand-turned potter’s wheel with uncompromising precision. It is a masterpiece that allows you to truly appreciate the splendor of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. We are committed to the plasticity of the clay, the feel on the lips, the texture to the touch, and ease of use. We aim to convey the spirit of handcrafted and hand-painted artistry through the theme of “beauty in utility,” putting ourselves in the user’s shoes. It is with this sentiment that our Japanese tableware was born. Furthermore, these pieces are highly appreciated as celebratory gifts; they are suitable for any occasion and make ideal commemorative gifts, corporate gifts, and presents for distinguished guests from around the world. ■ The colors produced by kiln changes (yōhen) during firing are characterized by a rich, deep depth of flavor, unlike that of paint. These pieces showcase variations in glaze texture (glaze flow and color shifts), allowing you to enjoy the “beauty of chance.” The colors emerge depending on the kiln’s “mood,” and subtle changes in firing temperature or humidity alter the hues, making each piece a one-of-a-kind work that can never be replicated. Matte gold has been applied using a unique technique over the kiln-change porcelain surface. This is a luxurious piece that blends the traditions of Arita ware with a contemporary sensibility. ■ Dimensions: Height 10.2 cm, Diameter 9.5 cm ■ Set of 2 ■ Material: Porcelain ■ Limited Edition: Includes a ceramic history booklet.
