An elegant rectangular pot, or chōhō-bachi, crafted by Hisada Shizuo at the Keizan kiln in Tokoname. The piece is distinguished by the refined double band (himo) that runs along its central area, lending balance, rhythm, and character to the overall design. Its silhouette corresponds to the typology known as shami-dō, a term that literally alludes to its resemblance to the shape of the shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument.
His real name was Hisada Shizuo (久田静雄), born on December 8, 1933, in the 8th year of the Shōwa era. He was known artistically as Keizan (佳山) and trained under his father. Throughout his life, he maintained an uninterrupted dedication to ceramic creation, an activity that only ceased with his death. He cultivated a style inherited from the previous generation, characterized by soft lines and restrained vigor; however, his works were distinguished by a unique personality that made them unmistakable.
