Shiro Tsujimura (b. 1947)
Japan
Late 20th century
Raku fired ceramic
4 ¾” diameter x 7“ high

Shiro Tsujimura is widely regarded as one of great masters of contemporary ceramics. His works are rooted in traditional Japanese and Korean styles, while embracing an unconventional firing process that abandons control over the kiln and relishes in the unexpected. He resides in the hills above Nara, in Mima, where he has his home, his workshop, a tea house, and seven kilns. His work has been exhibited globally and is part of the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum and the British Museum, among other important collections.

Available at Lawton Mull and on view until June 25th 2025 as part of our exhibition, ORDINARY SPLENDOR, a collaboration with Sri.
