Born as the son of the Living National Treasure Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004), Shimizu Yasutaka (b. 1947)’s training under his father has doubt passed on some of Shimizu Uichi’s aesthetic and technical sensibilities. Being the inheritor of a mantel stretching back to Ishiguro Munemaro (1893-1968), he continues to exploit iron-containing glazes with work surfaced in the black, brown, red and white color range that these glazes permit. His impressive work has its own individuality but also reflects some of the free approaches adopted by his father in his later years.
This jar has a playful design of a turtle on a patch of unglazed surface, showcasing Yasutaka’s wit and playful artistic sensibility. The pure and creamy white glaze echoes the iconic thick slip style of his family, showing how he carries on the torch of the Shimizu pottery tradition.
He is currently a member of the Japan Kogei Association. He has been collected by prestigious ceramic institutions in Japan such as the Morikami Collection, the The Museum of Oriental Ceramics, Osaka. Internationally, his work is featured in collections such as the Brooklyn Museum, the RISD Museum, KUMHO Art Museum in Seoul, and more.
