Faceted Covered Vessels with Pale Blue Glaze

Yagi Akira Japanese

Not on view

Yagi Akira is the son of Yagi Kazuo (1918–1979), who in 1948 in Kyoto cofounded the avant-garde ceramics group Sōdeisha. The Kyoto-based Yagi Akira is noted for his delicate, fine-edged, wheel-thrown, and carved porcelain with bluish-white seihakuji and lacquerlike black glazes. In this set of three faceted, lidded, corkscrew-shaped bottles, the spaces between each and the interaction among them are as important as the vessels themselves.
