This small jar is a work by Yaichi KUSUBE, a master of modern Japanese ceramics.
It is finished with a Jun ware-style glaze, showcasing a soft bluish celadon tone with striking purple splashes created by the kiln’s natural transformation. Four lion or monkey masks are applied in relief around the body, adding a bold and dignified presence to the serene surface. Despite its compact size, the piece conveys a strong sense of presence and highlights Kusube’s exceptional glazing techniques and sculptural artistry.
