22525 KOYAMA Fujio (Koyamako) (Hana no Ki Sake Cup)

Height 3.8cm Diameter 9.0cm

"Fujio Koyama is a great contributor to the development of modern ceramics, having made a great contribution to the study of ancient ceramics at the Tokyo Imperial Museum and the Committee for the Protection of Cultural Properties, and having traveled around Japan to make pottery at kilns in places like Mino, Kyoto, Bizen, and Karatsu. Born from the sensibilities he developed through his research into ancient ceramics, his works are filled with kindness that warms the heart of anyone who sees them. Among these, the Yakishime pottery is perhaps a work to which the Bizen-born artist has a special attachment. It is a sake cup that any ceramic lover will covet.
