YAMADA KAZU 山田和 (B.1954) An Enbu ('Flame Dance') Shino Guinomi (Sake Cup) Heisei era (1989-2019), 2010 Of irregular hantsutsu form finished in the artist's characteristic mottled glaze with iridescent patches on the interior, the mostly unglazed base with a double foot ring; with a tomobako (wood storage box) inscribed and signed Enbu Shino guinomi Kazu saku, sealed Kazu 2 1/8 x 2 3/4in (5.4 x 7cm) Footnotes: Provenance Gallery Tosei Yamada Kazu's enbu glaze displays flame-like movement across sculptural forms, with layered reds, amber, charcoal, and sooty blacks. High firing allows breaking, pooling, and runs that preserve the effects of fire, gravity, and kiln atmosphere. Yamada, who hails from a family of celebrated ceramics artists-- his father is Yamada Kenkichi (born 1923) and his uncle was Yamada Jōzan (1924-2005, Living National Treasure, 1998)-- is accomplished in multiple styles and ceramic traditions, he is consistently rated one of Japan's top ceramics artist year after year.
