Vintage Kyo Chaire, Tea Caddy, Kizu Kiraku, Bunrin, Kyo ware, Very lightly used,
Kizu Kiraku (1951-) was born in Katsura, Kyoto.
He began learning pottery under Souraku Higaki (Kyoto Katsura kiln) when he was a child.
After he graduated from Kyoto prefecture college of pottery, he was selected for Contemporary Art Dealers Association Nippon in 1975.
His pottery has a distinctive, refined character.
He became known as a modern Raku ware artist in Japan.
This Bunrin Chaire features soft colors and a patterned surface. Its original signed box (Tomobako) identifies it as a Bunrin Chaire named “Kinuta.”
We acquired it from our friend in Kyoto.
It comes with its original shifuku, Tomobako (original signed paulownia box), and original note identifying the shifuku fabric pattern.
