A dish made in the style of Totan or corrugated metal, a common building material in Japan. It is 42.5 x 18 x 3.5 cm (17 x 7 x 1-1/2 inches) and is in excellent condition, directly from the artist. Fujimoto is inspired by the natural world around him, and the return to nature of the discarded and redundant remains of our civilization.
Fujimoto Hide was born in the heart of Shigaraki in 1954, and was fascinated with the medium from a very young age. He worked in several potteries and industrial positions for a decade from 1973, always furthering his understanding of firing technique and glazes, followed by a decade of firing and sculpting, culminating in establishing his own kiln in the forests of Shigaraki in 1995. His work has been picked up by many of Japan’s preeminent galleries including several private exhibitions with Kuroda Toen in Ginza, the Togei no Mori Museum in Shiga, and just recently an exhibition in Taiwan.
