荒田耕治 Arata Koji (1938-2022) Kasama ware Black Glaze Decoration Single Flower Vase with Original Box (Tomobako) VA975
荒田耕治 Arata Koji (1938-2022)
A ceramic artist originally from Hokkaido. He relocated to Ibaraki Prefecture and built his kiln there. He has received numerous awards, including the Gold Prize at the Daiichi Art Exhibition in 1976 and the Minister of Education Award for Excellence at the 6th Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition in 1981.
Created by Arata Koji (1938–2022), a distinguished ceramic artist originally from Hokkaido who later established his kiln in Ibaraki, this Kasama ware single‑flower vase showcases his refined command of black‑glaze expression. The rounded form and controlled transitions of tone give the piece a quiet presence, while the surface reveals subtle shifts in texture and color that reflect Arata’s sensitivity to kiln atmosphere and material response. Known for receiving major honors—including the Gold Prize at the Daiichi Art Exhibition in 1976 and the Minister of Education Award for Excellence at the 6th Japan Ceramic Art Exhibition—Arata developed a style that balances contemporary sensibility with the earthy character of Kasama clay. The vase is accompanied by its original tomobako, inscribed by the artist, underscoring its authenticity and the care traditionally given to works of this caliber.
