He learned how to use a potter's wheel from his father, who worked as a potter at the Eiraku Studio, one of the Senke Ten Craftsmen, and after the war, he began to pursue pottery in earnest. This is an outstanding piece by ceramist Suzuki Osamu, who made a great contribution as a central figure in the avant-garde pottery group Sodeisha, which he formed in 1948 with Yagi Kazuo, Yamada Hikaru, and others, and led the Japanese pottery world after the war. The cute design enhances the charm of the piece even more. It is a masterpiece that successfully embodies the ideas of Sodeisha as a sculptural and artistic piece.
