・Yuichi Yamamoto (potter) ・Born in 1935 (Showa 10) in Imbe, Bizen City ・Born as the eldest son of Toshu Yamamoto, a Living National Treasure and master of the potter's wheel. In 1959 (Showa 34), he became a disciple of his father and entered the world of pottery. ・Independent in 1962 (Showa 37). In 1968 (Showa 43), he introduced a gas kiln for the first time in Bizen ware, began research on Hidasuki (a type of firing effect), and succeeded in stable firing. Furthermore, he devised "Himmon," which artificially creates Hidasuki using an extract that is the source of the color, and the "Hisae" technique, which mixes ash into the extract to create multiple colors. ・He produces a wide range of works, including flower vases, tea bowls, sake vessels, jars, large bowls, and plates. Molding is mainly done on the potter's wheel. What he values most in pottery is "first, the clay, second, the firing, and third, the craftsmanship." He intends to continue researching Himmon in the future. In 1996 (Heisei 8), he was certified as a holder of Okayama Prefecture's Important Intangible Cultural Property. The product is in very good condition. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions. #BizenWare #Jar #YuichiYamamoto #LivingNationalTreasure
