SKU 003
Price

¥500,000

This work was made in the later years of Nakazato Yozan (Suetaro), who supported Mikawachi ware in the Showa period. It is a large ring-shaped plate with petal-like cuts on the rim, and a powerful composition and brushwork depict a ripe peach, a symbol of longevity. The back reads "Longevity 3,000 years" and the foot is inscribed with "Intangible Cultural Property Yozan Suetaro, 93 years old." Yozan (Suetaro) was designated an Intangible Cultural Property holder of Nagasaki Prefecture in 1974 as a master of thin white porcelain known as "eggshell-style," which is as thin as an eggshell. He also excelled in bold painting and left behind many masterpieces. To improve his ceramic painting skills, Yozan not only trained using painting models, but also drew sketches using Conté in his later years, and it is known from related materials that he used pencils and colored pencils instead of traditional brushes for his ceramic painting sketches. This work also depicts peaches, a traditional symbol of good fortune, but the skillful use of shading in the depiction of the branches and leaves shows traces of Yozan (Suetaro)'s study of Western painting techniques. It comes in a matching box, and on the front of the lid is inscribed "Hirado Mikawachi ware peach-e blue and white Chosei-zara (Chosei-zara)" (Intangible Cultural Property, Purveyor to the Imperial Household Ministry, Made by Yozan Suetaro, Age 93) and a seal "Yozan" (red square seal).
