A flower vessel in the shape of a colorful shimmering orb by Ichikawa Toru, growing legend in Bizen, titled “Miyabi,” enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The work lives up to its name with a presence that instantly elevates any space. Its shimmering glaze—distinctively Ichikawa’s—captures the eye with layers of color and light. The metalics are genuine gold and platinum, combined with bright colors on a feldspar glaze. Created in 2025, par of a new series of shapes, the vessel measures 20.3 x 21.5 x 19.1 cm (8 × 8 1/2 × 7 1/2 inches) and was obtained directly from him in the autumn of 2025, it is in excellent condition.
Ichikawa Toru was born in Tokyo in 1973. In 2015 he established his current studio in Bizen after 4 years of apprenticeship under another Bizen Outsider, Kakurezaki Ryuichi. He has since developed quite a following, with his shows selling out often within hours.
