About the Item
An exceptional example of the work of master Japanese potter, Shunichi Inoue. This vessel dates from his Australian residency and is signed and dated 1978.
There is potency in this very simple form - it has a powerful Cynthian presence, stillness, composure, that is, it is reminiscent of the calm abiding presence of the moon.
Shunichi Inoue studied ceramics at Kyoto City University of Arts 1969-75. He travelled to Australia to lecturer in ceramics at the Bendigo College of Advanced Education in Victoria, Australia where he stayed for three years.
He returned to Australia in late 1984 as a visiting professor and again in 1993, when he made an extended stay.
He was an active exhibitor and had an important influence on Australian pottery. Work may be signed 'S. Inoue' and he also has a Japanese character mark. This work is signed with the character mark.
Note, there is a small nibble to glaze on the left upper rim, indicated in images, and one equally insignificant to the ridge at front of the vase, also shown in images.
Please note, this vase was part of a functional collection, actively used for Ikebana flower arrangement and display. For forty-three years it has been in everyday use and is in very good condition in spite of it's hard work.
