Fujimoto Yoshimichi (NŌDŌ) 藤本能道(1919–1992)
A Master of Aka-e Porcelain & Japanese National Living Treasure
Yoshimichi Fujimoto was a renowned Japanese ceramic artist celebrated for his innovations in Aka-e (overglaze enamel painting on porcelain). As a professor at Tokyo University of the Arts, he played a key role in advancing modern Japanese ceramics. In 1986, he was designated a Living National Treasure (Jūyō Mukei Bunkazai Hojisha) for his mastery of Iroe porcelain.
Born in Tokyo in 1919, Fujimoto studied at Tokyo School of Fine Arts (now Tokyo University of the Arts) and trained under prominent ceramic masters such as Kato Hajime and Tomimoto Kenkichi. He dedicated his career to refining Iroe-decorated porcelain, developing a distinctive technique called "Yūbyō Kasai" (glaze-painted polychrome decoration). This method, which involves painting under a transparent glaze, allows for exceptional depth and luminosity in his enamel decorations.
Fujimoto’s work received international acclaim, including a Silver Prize at the 1965 Geneva International Ceramics Exhibition. His artistic achievements led to his official recognition as a Living National Treasure in 1986 for his outstanding contributions to Japanese overglaze porcelain.
His masterpieces are housed in prestigious collections, including the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. His legacy continues to inspire ceramic artists and collectors worldwide.
This "Flower Vase with Aka-e Designs" is a superb example of Fujimoto’s artistic brilliance. It showcases his signature technique, Yūbyō Kasai, where delicate floral motifs in vibrant Aka-e (red overglaze enamel) are carefully applied to the porcelain surface. The refined brushwork and soft glaze finish create a harmonious balance between elegance and warmth.This work embodies Fujimoto’s technical mastery and artistic vision, offering a glimpse into the exquisite beauty of Japanese porcelain artistry.
