Yasushi Fujihira's "Tea Bowl" is a work characterized by a beautiful color gradation that changes from reddish purple at the top to blue in the middle and white at the bottom. This tea bowl combines the eye-catching contrast of vivid colors with its smooth form, giving it the appearance of a work of art created by nature.
A poetry of colors woven from magenta, blue, and white
The greatest charm of this tea bowl is the smooth color transition from reddish purple to blue to white.
The reddish-purple color symbolizes passion and vitality, giving the upper part of the piece a sense of splendor and vitality.
Blue is a calming color that gives a sense of tranquility and depth, maintaining overall harmony.
White symbolizes purity and innocence, giving the foundation a calm and tranquil feel.
This gradation is born from the natural flow and chemical reactions of the glaze, and is a perfect combination of chance and calculation, resulting in a truly unique beauty.The appearance changes subtly depending on the way the light hits it and the angle, so you can enjoy making new discoveries every time you use it.
Natural beauty born from shapes created without the use of a potter's wheel
This tea bowl was shaped without the use of a potter's wheel, using the hand-twisting technique that is the specialty of Yasushi Fujihira. The slight distortions and curves that result from the hand-twisting technique give the piece a human warmth and familiarity. This natural form provides a special comfort not only to those who view it, but also to those who use it.
Furthermore, the good center of gravity and smooth feel when you hold it in your hand are also part of the charm of this piece.It is a work of art, but also practical, and as a tea ceremony utensil it will create a special moment in your daily life.
Color expression that conveys respect for nature
Yasushi Fujihira is skilled at capturing the beauty of nature in his pottery. The colors of this tea bowl evoke the image of a morning glow spreading across the sky, transitioning into a blue sky, and eventually blending into the white of the clouds. The natural patterns and intermingling of colors created by dripping glaze are the result of an exquisite harmony of chance and intention.
This kind of color expression is a testament to Yasushi Fujihira's deep respect for nature and his ability to express a poetic world through the medium of pottery.
A unique aesthetic born from tradition and innovation
Based on the deep love for pottery and poetic sensibility he inherited from his father, Shin Fujihira, Yasushi Fujihira pursues new beauty from his own unique perspective. This tea bowl combines traditional pottery techniques with his own unique, modern and free expression, creating new value.
As can be seen in the changing colors and hand-twisted forms, the works present new possibilities for ceramics, fusing the beauty of nature with human skill.
