This is a masterpiece by Professor Uraguchi Masayuki, whose master was the Living National Treasure Miura Koheiji. He is a highly acclaimed celadon artist who has introduced a succession of new techniques, from traditional celadon to black porcelain, sea porcelain, and lapis lazuli porcelain. The beauty of the glaze tones and the variety of crazing, which are unique to Uraguchi, who has a deep knowledge of Chinese ceramics, are the result of repeated trial and error and tireless efforts, and are the greatest charm of Uraguchi celadon. In recent years, he has also attempted large-scale works with original forms, such as Boshanro and Boshanjar.
