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.- 2010-?Artist, to the Pucker Gallery?-2012Bernard H. and Suzanne Pucker, Boston, MA, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art2012-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
