A BLUE-GLAZED WATER JAR (MIZUSASHI) TITLED 'CHOON' BY KIMURA YOSHIRO (b. 1946) Japan, 20th century. Ø 19.3 cm. Porcelain with a vibrant blue glaze. A tea ceremony vessel featuring a radiant ocean-blue Hekiyû (碧釉) glaze, bearing the artist’s seal mark on the base. Accompanied by its original signed wooden box, cloth, and certificate. Kimura Yoshiro (b. 1946) was born in Ehime Prefecture. He established his kiln in Higashi-Hiroshima in 1975 following extensive international study trips across Europe, North Africa, and the Americas. Over his distinguished career, he has received major accolades, including the Kaneshige Toyo Prize (2001) and the Chugoku Cultural Prize (2005), and is a regular member of the Japan Kogei Association. He is celebrated for heki-yû, a signature deep-blue glaze he developed over many years, inspired by the vibrant blue hues he encountered during his travels. His ceramics are featured in major international collections, including the International Museum of Ceramics in Faenza and the Sèvres National Ceramics Museum. * Full tax is charged on this item marked with an asterisk (*); that is, VAT is charged on the total amount but will be refunded to purchasers who provide a validly stamped export declaration.
