Condition : As shown in the picture, it's very good condition. No chips, No cracks.
This is a vintage Japanese pottery square vase of Mashiko ware, which was made by one of the greatest Japanese potters, Tatsuzo Shimaoka (1919-2007) about 60 years ago.
He was a great potter, who was designated as a National Human Cultural Treasure from Japanese Government in 1966.
This work was the excellent one, which listed at the TATSUZO SHIMAOKA Exhibition in 2003.
The seal of the potter is stamped on the bottom. The original wooden box with the signature of the potter and his profile are also included.
(About Tatsuzo Shimaoka)
Tatsuzo Shimaoka (1919-2007) was a Japanese mingei potter who studied under Shoji Hamada and later became the second Living National Treasure of Mashiko, Japan. He was best known for his unique Jomon zogan style of pottery, and was a master of many slip decorating and firing techniques for pottery. Throughout his career, Shimaoka worked collaboratively with a group of workers, students, and apprentices from Japan and abroad. After supervising the loading of what would become his last noborigama firing in late 2007, Shimaoka collapsed, and died several weeks later in late 2007 from acute liver failure at Mashiko in Tochigi Prefecture.
