About the Work
Kotan is a word used by the Ainu people (indigenous people) living in Hokkaido, meaning village.
Shumei Fujii has created a work of art of the harsh and fantastic scenery seen from their Kotan, which is located in an area with heavy snowfall.

About the artist.
Shumei Fujii is a renowned ceramic artist and a Living National Treasure.
Living National Treasure status in Japan is granted by the state to individuals who have acquired and embody a high level of mastery in traditional arts and crafts techniques.

He began his training at the age of 15 and won his first prize at a prestigious exhibition in Japan (Japan Art Exhibition) at the age of 37,
Since then, he has rapidly risen to prominence and gained a high reputation both in Japan and abroad.
He has been selected for the Japan Art Exhibition more than 15 times and is so well known that his works have been purchased by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.


Techniques and characteristics
The artist has developed a unique technique known as the 'tree leaf technique', which has become synonymous with his work.
In this technique, young leaves are pressed onto unglazed pottery and the veins of the leaves are used to represent mountains.
His work is characterised by meticulously painted mountains inspired by the landscape of Arita.

Arita is also known as one of the leading pottery towns in Japan and has produced many potters.
The Fujii family have been involved in ceramics since the Edo period and the eldest son is also a potter with a different style to his father.


About Arita-yaki
Arita-yaki is the most representative porcelain of Japan, produced in the city of Arita and the surrounding area.
It is characterised by its translucent white porcelain surface and the beautiful colours produced with overglaze paints. It is extremely durable and is used in a wide range of products, from works of art to everyday items.
Known as 'white gold' for its superior quality and beauty, it was recognised as a traditional craft by the Japanese government in 1977.
