This is an old ceramic plate by Kiyomizu Rokubei, one of the most famous potter in Kyoto. A yin-yang motif is placed at the center, and around it runs dynamic brushwork painted in iron glaze. The movement of the brush gives the piece a lively expression throughout.
The glaze shows fine crackle, giving the plate the calm and settled character that only comes with age.
This work is thought to date from the period of either the 5th Kiyomizu Rokubei (1875–1959) or the 6th Kiyomizu Rokubei (1901–1980). It is an appealing piece, marked by powerful brushwork and a simple composition.
Kiyomizu Rokubei, one of the most famous potters in Kyoto, is the name assigned to the head of the Kyoto-based Kiyomizu family of ceramists.
With over 250 years of history, the studio is now into its eighth generation.
