Type...Pottery...Tsuboya-yaki This is a work with a Tomobako (original wooden box) by Jiro Kinjo, the first Living National Treasure of Okinawa. First of all, the size is over 42 cm. The carving of the four fish is very powerful, and it is clear that this is a work from his prime. The whole piece is brightly fired, and the white of the hakeme (brushstroke) is also clearly visible. There are lotus petals and tobi-kanna (flying plane) on the top and bottom, and it is clear that a lot of effort has been put into it, and you can feel the strong desire to create a masterpiece without sparing any effort. The flow of the reddish-brown glaze with kiln change that drips from the mouth is also superb. The fish parts are carefully painted with blue glaze and yellowish-brown glaze, and the contrast is also vivid. It goes without saying that the carving and expression of the fish, which have been changed in expression, are also wonderful. Looking at the whole, it is very interesting, and it is nothing less than a great masterpiece. The box inscription is in the artist's own handwriting and is very valuable. The paulownia box is also made of thick wood and is very good. This is a work that would be the main piece if there was a Jiro Kinjo Museum. This item is from the Mainichi Auction (Mainichi Auction guarantees the authenticity of all items under the responsibility of the organizer).

In the last two pictures, there are parts that look like kiln cracks, but the glaze is applied and fired, and there are no defects at all. When you look from above, you can see a shallow kiln crack on the inside of the neck. Since it exceeds 40 cm, the calculation is 10,000 yen per 1 cm. *Final price reduction. Thank you very much.
