Seascape

Not on view

The Kyoto-based artist Fukami Sueharu is celebrated for his elongated, nonfunctional porcelain sculptures. After being molded and cast or thrown on the wheel, the works, executed in small editions, are finished with his signature seihakuji (pale blue) glaze. The origins of seihaku, with its exquisite contrasts of white and pale blue, can be traced back to the Jingdezhen kiln complex in China’s Jiangxi Province, where the glaze was first developed during the Song dynasty (960–1279).
