About the Item
This impressive contemporary bowl by Yamada Akira—one of the leading figures in Kyoto Ware and a member of the Japan Kogei Association—embodies the artist’s pursuit of a distinctly Japanese ambience in modern ceramics.
The piece features a striking contrast between its deep red interior, glowing with the intensity of shojōhi (a color traditionally associated with lacquer), and its matte black exterior, which bears a deliberately textured, almost “scratched” surface. This intentional irregularity gives the bowl a quiet sense of age and depth, echoing the aesthetics of weathered lacquer and the spirit of classical Noh.
Yamada’s technique, refined through his training at the Kyoto-fu College of Potter Technology and the Kyoto-shi Industrial Research Institute, reveals a masterful balance between refinement and expressive tactility. The soft, smooth interior invites touch, while the exterior surface adds dramatic tension—an interplay that exemplifies Yamada’s vision of leading ceramics into a new stage while remaining rooted in tradition.
With its sculptural presence and generous size, this bowl serves equally as a statement display piece and as a powerful example of contemporary Kyoto ceramic artistry.
