| Singed white glaze encroaches upon the dark iron pines decorating the body of this thickly potted ceramic tokkuri style vase by Imai Masayuki enclosed in the original signed wooden box. Typical of this artist, the texture and coloring is a feast for the senses. The vase is 7 inches (18 cm) tall and in excellent condition. Imai was born in Osaka in 1930 and studied the plastic arts under Kusube Yaichi of Kyoto, the city he chose to make home. He has been a long standing and often exhibited member of the Nitten, receiving the Hokuto Award there. He also took the grand prize at the International Biennale of Contemporary Ceramics as well as the prestigious Japan Ceramic Society Award in 1965. He is mentor and teacher to a new generation of Japanese potters including Ichino Masahiko. | ||||||||||||||
