Large Sculptural Ceramic Vessel by Mihara Ken

Creator: Mihara Ken
Offered by: Tishu

Description
A large ceramic vessel in an impressive geometrical form by Japanese potter Mihara Ken (1958-) made in 2007. This multi-fired stoneware in shape of a mountain features natural glaze, distinguished scored vertical lines and scattered surface coloration in blue. Signed with artist's mark Ken underneath the base.
Mihara Ken was born in 1958 in Shimane Prefecture, Japan. He is now one of the most renowned Japanese ceramists today. Hailing from Izumo, home to mystic landscapes that gave birth to the great majority of Japan's legends, Mihara's works call to mind the spiritual aesthetics of ceremonial vessels. Yet at the same time, his ceramics embody a deeply introspective and Zen tranquility. Detailed biography available upon request.
