The skill of an artist who once studied sculpture has borne fruit in the delicate carved designs of hydrangeas and daffodils. The faint warmth of the semi-trasparent glaze is also appealing. One of Itaya Hazan’s accomplishments was to elevate ceramics from a field of artisans and industry to a field of art. He enrolled in the sculpture course at the Tokyo Fine Arts School immediately after its establishement and graduated in 1894. His career as a ceramic artist began only after he had worked for a time as a teacher of sculpture and ceramics at the Ishikawa Prefectural Technical School and built a kiln on property he rented in the Tabata area of Tokyo in 1904. He finally produced his first works there two years later. The story of the dire poverty he endured around this time to devote himself to his art, including how he raised money for fuel for his kiln, has become legendary. His art name, Hazan, was taken from Tsukubasan, a mountain near his home town. The actual forming of Hazan’s works was left to his assistant Genda Ichimatsu, who shared both joy and hardship with him for over fifty years. Hazan himself poured his energies, both physical and mental, into the shapes and desings of his works, producing an enormous number of preliminary drawings. The work shown here is a masterpiece in which Hazan’s skill at plastic surface design stands out. After the vase was formed on a potter’s wheel, its surface was lightly carved with large floral designs (hydrangeas, daffodils, peonies, cotton roses, etc.), as if in relief. Light colors were applied to the floweres, and then the entire vase was covered with semi-transparent glaze, generating an overall gentle sense of presence. This work exhibited at the 13th Teiten exhibition of 1932 and was purchased the same year.

Itaya Hazan: A Pioneer of Modern Japanese Ceramics

Itaya Kashichi Itaya Hazan (板谷波山, 1872—1963) stands as a monumental figure in the history of Japanese ceramics, recognized universally as a trailblazer who fundamentally reshaped artistic expression during the Meiji and Taisho eras. Born in Shimodate, Ibaraki Prefecture, he descended from humble origins – his father was a soya sauce maker – yet ascended to become one of Japan’s most celebrated artists, leaving an indelible mark on both craft and aesthetic philosophy. His artistic pseudonym, Hazan (“wavy mountain”), derived from the landscape of his birthplace, encapsulates the spirit of observation and connection to nature that would permeate his oeuvre.

Early Life & Education: Hazan’s formative years were marked by a profound engagement with Western art movements, particularly Art Nouveau. Influenced by luminaries like Kōun Takamura and Tenshin Okakura at the Tokyo Fine Arts School (now Tokyo University of the Arts), he honed his sculptural skills alongside an equally fervent dedication to ceramics. This dual pursuit would prove instrumental in shaping his artistic vision.
The Birth of Hazan Style: The closure of Ishikawa Prefectural Industrial School in 1898 propelled Hazan toward independent exploration, where he established a kiln in Tokyo and embarked on a journey to master traditional Chinese ceramic techniques. His groundbreaking sketchbook “Twelve Shapes of Ancient Ceramics” published in the same year signaled his commitment to preserving heritage while simultaneously innovating new forms.
A Studio Dedicated to Craftsmanship: Hazan’s studio was a crucible of artistic experimentation, fostering collaborations with assistants like Fukami Sanjiro and later Genda Ichimatsu until Ichimatsu's passing in 1963. This partnership nurtured a distinctive aesthetic characterized by meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering pursuit of perfection—a hallmark of Hazan’s artistic approach.

The Flowering of Hazan Style: Innovation and Recognition

Hazan’s artistic evolution unfolded in two distinct styles – Saiji and Hokosaiji – each reflecting a nuanced understanding of materiality and visual language. His debut exhibition at the Japan Art Association in 1906 garnered critical acclaim, propelling him to prominence within the burgeoning Japanese art scene. The subsequent nationwide ceramics exhibition of 1911 cemented his reputation as a visionary artist, securing him the prestigious top prize and establishing Hokosaiji as a dominant aesthetic force.

Commercial Ceramics & Artistic Retreat: As ceramics gained traction in Japan’s commercial landscape during the 1910s, Hazan consciously distanced himself from exhibitions, prioritizing artistic contemplation over public recognition. This decision allowed him to delve deeper into classical Chinese traditions and refine his craft with unwavering dedication.
The Order of Cultural Merit & Legacy: In 1954, Hazan achieved unparalleled honor when he was awarded the Order of Cultural Merit – Japan’s highest accolade for artistic achievement—a testament to his enduring influence on Japanese art history. His work continues to inspire artists and scholars alike, housed prominently in the Idemitsu Museum of Arts where it stands as a beacon of aesthetic excellence.

Exploring Hazan's Artistic Vision: Form and Color

Hazan’s ceramics are distinguished by their masterful manipulation of form and color—elements that intertwine to convey profound emotional resonance. He championed the concept of “inner life,” striving to imbue each piece with a sense of dynamism and expressive depth, mirroring his sculptural training. His distinctive Saiji style favored relief carving, meticulously capturing subtle nuances of texture and surface ornamentation. Simultaneously, Hokosaiji embraced bold color palettes—often incorporating vibrant hues inspired by nature—creating visually arresting compositions that captivated audiences.

Notable Works & Influence

Among Hazan’s celebrated creations is “Large Vase with Painted Porcelain Butterbur Leaves Design,” a masterpiece embodying his stylistic principles and securing him the top prize at the Japan Art Association Exhibition in 1917. His exploration of Chinese ceramic traditions profoundly impacted subsequent generations of Japanese artists, establishing Hokosaiji as an influential aesthetic paradigm. Hazan’s legacy extends beyond individual artworks; he fundamentally transformed perceptions of ceramics—elevating it from a utilitarian craft to a realm of artistic contemplation and cultural significance.
