Kitamura Junko, Japanese ceramics artist

Fabulous!

oh wow that's simply beautiful, the sweeping pattern and use of black and white along with the form of the ceramic itself that's beautiful

So they copied a Kusama?

So beautiful!

Makes me dizzy but that design is pretty amazing

There’s a shop near me I found quite by chance. Went in, was taken aback by the beauty of the ceramics. Filled my basket & went to pay. Turned one upside down - ‘Made in Japan’. Their imagination/quality/design skills second to none, well-thought of. I was happy with my much needed purchases.

wow

Bless those with Patience for it is certainly not me.

Saw an NHK mini-doc about this craft. The steady, flawless confidence the craftspeople showed when making those dots was awe inspiring. Humbling too.

could have been woven. Japanese, First Nations. everybody else is artistic, what happened here.
