    Size 4 x 5 x 5 in. (10 x 12.5 x 12.5 cm)

    A stoneware bowl in a form roughly resembling the wan-nari teabowl type, the surface with ash glaze exhibiting a varied keshiki (landscape) of contrasting textures and colors, the base with an artist’s mark

    Comes with the original paulownia-wood tomobako storage box, the lid inscribed inside Yakishime wan Kōji (Unglazed bowl, Kōji) and sealed Kō; printed biography with concluding date of 2023

    A former footballer, Toda Kōji switched to ceramics in 1998 when he became a pupil of Itō Tōhiko and started his own workshop in Kasama, Ibaragi Prefecture in 2002, specializing in elegant traditional forms created from local clays and fired in a wood-fueled kiln, with a finish that recalls the blue-gray hues of Sueki, an early Japanese ceramic ware. Toda has worked as a guest artist in Thailand and his work has been acquired by several U.S. museums including the Art Galleries of Princeton and Yale Universities, the Detroit Museum of Art, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
