Did You Know?

The combination of black and persimmon glazes is the palette that decorates most of Hagiwara Yoshinori's pieces.

Description

Hagiwara Yoshinori is the fifth generation of a ceramic family in Mashiko, Japan. This shape of this globular vase is characteristic of his aesthetic, which imbues traditional craft ceramic forms with a refined elegance. Hagiwara uses the limited palette of reddish-iron kaki (persimmon) and kuro (iron black) glazes and fires his pieces in a wood-burning climbing kiln. The jar features a striped pattern, found in many of his works regardless of shape, which divides and activates the surface. This jar is an example of his utilitarian yet sophisticated ceramics.
A reddish-brown and black ceramic vessel features a bulbous body tapering toward a narrow base and a short, upright neck. Solid glossy black glaze coats the rim, while vertical black stripes segment the reddish-brown surface from shoulder to base. Dark, speckled patches mottle the upper body, blending into the warm orange-brown glaze. These rhythmic lines wrap around the ovoid form, contrasting the dark neck with the earthy belly textures.
