An exquisite ash glazed cup and saucer with fluted design by Nishimura Masaaki enclosed in the original signed compartmentalized wooden display box.The saucer is 13.5 cm (5-1/2 inches) diameter, the cup 11 cm (4-1/4 inches) diameter and both are in excellent condition, directly from the artist.
Nishimura Masaaki says: There are people beyond the pottery, those who produce the food, and aggregate the seeds. There are moments when we feel the wisdom which is passed down from our ancestors, and those who protect it.When we feel these moments in our lifestyle, that is when we are actually living in the land. I learnt that to live is to cleanse the land…Saying thank you is not enough to express my feelings. The answer was here.Create pottery for the living…Like a bookmark, so that people can find and read my passage. I hope my pottery can become a part of it…
