Ukiyo-e Pottery – A magical encounter between Ukiyo-e and Mashiko ware
Ukiyo-e by Utagawa Hiroshige, Katsushika Hokusai, and other representative Japanese ukiyo-e artists met Mashiko-yaki, a pottery representative of Tochigi Prefecture in Japan.
As the first step, we will deliver
Katsushika Hokusai “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” (commonly known as “Kanagawa Offing”) from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.
Katsushika Hokusai “Gaifu Kaisei” (commonly known as Red Fuji) from Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji.
Utagawa Hiroshige “Kanbara Yonoyuki” (commonly known as Kambara) from the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido.
The world of Japonism woven by ukiyo-e is accurately reproduced on the simple Mashiko ware ceramic plate.
The greatest feature of Ukiyo-e ceramic plates is that they are resistant to deterioration.
Ukiyo-e itself and printed matter of ukiyo-e will inevitably deteriorate due to the influence of ultraviolet rays.
Ukiyo-e porcelain plates are characterized by being resistant to UV rays and fading because the glaze is baked in a high-temperature kiln.
Why not decorate your living room or bedroom with Ukiyo-e porcelain panels and feel the splendor of Japonism every day?
We will continue to add new ukiyo-e works to this website, so we can help you with your collection.
The bridge that connects Ukiyo-e and Western life is the Ukiyo-e ceramic plate.
