Creator Description

Fujii Kinsai has established a unique world of artistic sensibility through contemporary somenishiki and kinrande, as well as his own gold and platinum glazes. With many devoted fans across Japan and numerous department stores eager to host his solo exhibitions, he is one of the best-known artists of Arita porcelain.

He studied under leading figures in many fields, beginning with Living National Treasure Manji Inoue, master of Arita white porcelain. At just 18, he received the Asahi Shimbun Award at the Nagasaki Ceramics Exhibition, and he went on to win awards 15 times at prestigious exhibitions such as the Asahi Ceramics Exhibition, the Seibu Craft Exhibition, and the Izushi Porcelain Triennale. While still in his teens, he was recommended for membership in the Chishinkai.

By the age of 24, he had already held solo exhibitions at renowned department stores such as Daimaru and Mitsukoshi across Japan, and he continues to exhibit actively at craft exhibitions today. His works are also held in the collection of the British Museum, one of the largest museums in the world.
