    This Japanese vase By Tatsuzo Shimaoka was bought at the estate sale of Martha Longernecker in her house in La Jolla, CA.
    Tatsuzo Shimaoka ( 1919 – 2007) Mingei potter who studied under Shoji Hamada and later became the second Living National Treasure of Mashiko, Japan. He was best known for his unique style of pottery, and was a master of many slip decorating and firing techniques for pottery. Throughout his career, Shimaoka worked collaboratively with a group of workers, students, and apprentices from Japan and abroad. He was supervising the loading of a kiln of what would become his last noborigama firing in late 2007, Shimaoka collapsed and died several weeks later in 2007 from liver failure in Tochigi Prefecture.

      I am fascinated by the Japanese pottery culture and it's appreciation and reverence in the community there. Their artists are like no other.
      This vase must be intriguing to view in life, and tactile too.

      Yes he was unique in his designs. He used frequently ropes for patterns in his pieces. Thank you very much for your comments.
