--------------------
This is a work by Kinsai Fujii, a leading ceramic artist in the creation of Arita porcelain art. The contrast between Japan's national flower, the cherry blossom, and the radiant gold is beautiful. The delicate touch with which the cherry blossoms are depicted and the unique harmony of the golden hues make this piece stand out prominently. The paint used for the gold parts is highly valuable, making this piece a truly magnificent and luxurious masterpiece.
The production technique features both underglaze blue (sometsuke) and overglaze enamels (nishiki) painting. Underglaze blue (sometsuke) is a painting technique where designs are applied to the bisque-fired body before glazing. In contrast, overglaze enamels (nishiki) is a technique where vivid colors such as red and green are added to the glazed and fired body. Both underglaze blue (sometsuke) and overglaze enamels (nishiki) have their own challenges. Combining these techniques requires exceptionally high skill, including the overall composition of the painting.
This is a masterpiece of a large vase, 35.5 cm in height, crafted with the finest techniques of potter's wheel, painting, and firing.

 Porcelain production started in Japan in the 17th century after kaorin stone was discovered in Arita. From the middle 17th century, large amounts of Arita ceramics, which captivated the European royalty and nobility, were exported to Europe, through the Dutch trading post on Dejima Island in Nagasaki. Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony, was so fond of Arita ceramics that he ordered porcelain resembling Arita ceramics to be made in his electorate. In Arita, the tradition and techniques of Arita ceramics have been preserved for over 400 years, while young potters and workshops take on the callenge of producing ambitious new works. |
