This is a rare vase made by the master craftsman Fujiwara Tōsai, who left behind numerous masterpieces as the founder of Bizen ware pottery figures. It was kept in my home for several years, but I am exhibiting it as I have no opportunity to use it. [Fujiwara Tōsai (1897-1978)] Born in 1897 in Imbe, Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture. Real name Kamezuru. Studied under Mimura Tōkei. Studied at Imbe Pottery School. 1927: Became independent. Built a kiln. Awarded the Sixth Class Order of the Sacred Treasure. 1978: Passed away. ◆Quoted from the main text By firing at high temperatures for over eight days without glazing, the ever-changing kiln variations that appear due to the firing control are truly commendable. [Size] Height: 26cm Width: 14cm Depth: 14cm Please forgive any slight errors as these are amateur measurements. This is an old, unused item in a paulownia wood box. I believe the condition is good, but please understand that there may be minor oversights.
