| Description of works | FUJIMOTO Yoshimichi was a ceramist who was designated a “Holder of Important Intangible Cultural Heritage” in the category of “iroe jiki” (overglaze polychrome enamel porcelain) in 1986. He is known for an unconventional overglaze polychrome enameling technique he used to paint landscapes with representational motifs based on his own sketches, but without contours, called mokkotsu (boneless)-byoho. Another invention of his was called “yu-byo,” a technique used to add overglaze enamels onto a work after it is coated partially with colored glazes. In the course of his studies on the traditional glazes for white porcelain, in order to enhance the artistry of his paintings, FUJIMOTO also developed new glazes. They include a transparent glaze with a blue tint called sohaku-yu (grass-white glaze) and an extremely white, matte glaze named seppaku-yu (snow white glaze). This piece is glazed with sohaku-yu and accentuated effectively with gold and silver paints to render a profoundly beautiful scene in which the sun is setting on the mountains. |
