備前牡丹餅大鉢|Dish with three circular spots
Kitaōji Rosanjin 北大路魯山人
ca. 1950s · Stoneware with fire marks (Bizen ware) · Asian Art
The iron-red spots on this unglazed plate are reminiscent of firing marks (botan-mochi) often found on Bizen ware. In 1952, Rosanjin, a ceramist, calligrapher, painter, and restaurateur, visited Kaneshige Tōyō’s studio with the Japanese American sculptor Isamu Noguchi to learn the repertory of Bizen kiln effects. Later, Kaneshige built a Bizen-style kiln for Rosanjin, in Kamakura.
