-----------------------------
This is a work by Shoun Fujii, a leading figure in the art of Arita porcelain. This masterpiece features a gently and softly painted depiction of sunflowers in full bloom on a summer day. The vibrant yellow sunflowers, brimming with individuality, bloom in the height of summer, making this an energetic and lively piece.

As indicated by the product name "Some-Nishiki," both the underglaze blue (sometsuke) and overglaze enamels (nishiki) techniques are used. 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 large masterpiece, standing 24.5cm tall, embodying the pinnacle of techniques accumulated in Arita.

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.
