Ikegami Eichi was born in Kanazawa City, home of Kutani porcelain, in 1931, and during his time at the Kanazawa University of Art he submitted sculptures and was awarded at the Hokuriku Art Exhibitoin and Ishikawa Modern Art Exhibitions, graduating university in 1953. From 1954 to 1965 he submitted pottery works and was awarded several times at the Ishikawa Prefectural Modern Art Exhibition as well as the Toyama Prefectural Art Exhibition, his work being purchased by Toyama prefecture. In 1958 he was accepted into the Kofukai Exhibition. From 1963-1968 he exhibited with the Asahi Togeiten, and in 1967 joined the Nippu-kai. In 1970 he established in kiln in Kosugi, home of the ancient but nearly forgotten Kosugi-yaki pottery tradition. The same year he was awarded at the Nippukai Exhibition. Since his list of exhibitions and awards is lengthy to say the least, and his work with Kosugi ware has been much lauded. In 1996 he received the Arts and Culture Merit Award from the Toyama Prefectural Board of Education, and in 2001 the Toyama Prefectural Award of Merit, and in 2005 was recognized for his life dedication with the Cultural Award from Toyama Shimbun. The second generation head of his kiln is his daughter Mieko.

An unusual large bottle-shaped vase by Morino Taimei enclosed in the original signed wooden box. It is fawn-speckled blue on black-mottled tarnished silver, a striking combination. The shape of the mouth he has taken from traditional Korean forms. The vessel is 27 cm (11 inches) tall and in excellent condition.
Morino Taimei was born in Kyoto in 1934, and was first accepted into the Nitten National Exhibition at a relatively young age in 1957 (a year before graduating the Kyoto Municipal University of Fine Art!). In 1960 he received the prestigious Hokutosho prize at the same National Exhibition. In the early 60s he worked as a guest professor at the University of Chicago. Upon his return to Japan his career began to lift off with a second Hokutosho Prize at the Nitten, followed by The governors prize and others at the Gendai Kogei Ten (Modern National Crafts Exhibition). He was subsequently selected for display at the Kyoto and Tokyo National Museums in 1972 and was accepted into the first Nihon Togei Ten that same year. Since his list of exhibitions and prizes has continued to grow, with subsequent selections in the Tokyo and Kyoto museums of Art, as well as exhibitions in Paris, Italy, America, Canada, Denmark and others. In 2007 he received the Japan Art Academy Prize, an award to a work of art similar in weight to the bestowing of Living National Treasure to an artist. This puts the artist in a small club, rare and important. For more information on the artist see Contemporary Japanese Ceramics, Fired with Passion by (Lurie/Chan, 2006) or the recent exhibition of works titled Generosity in Clay from the Natalie Fitz-gerald Collection.

Vivid colors stand out on this fabulous multifaceted structure by Hashimoto Tomonari dating from this years firing. It is hollow, thus not as heavy as it looks, and comes accompanied by a signed wooden placard. The sculpture measures 37 x 36 x 36 cm (13 x 12 x 12 inches) and is in excellent condition, directly from the artist.
Hashimoto Tomonari was born the son of a sculptor and has felt comfortable with the processes of creation since childhood. He graduated with a masters from the Kanazawa University of Art in March 2017, then relocated to Shigaraki. A visit to his humble home studio is eye opening. Although he comes across as shy in conversation, when you move on to the subject of art, he is all confidence. He was named a finalist for the Loewe Craft Prize in 2019 and is making international waves around the world. Work by him is held in the V&A in London, LACMA and a large sculpture has recently been installed in his home prefecture of Wakayama.
