Specialist note

Fujimura Masami is the son of a Kutani ware potter, Fujimura Toyoaki (1903-1970). After having studied Japanese painting at Kanazawa College of Art and ceramics at the National Laboratory of Industry, he learnt enamelling from his father. His works show sophisticated enamelling styles which differentiate his pieces from traditional Kutani ware. He received a number of awards at exhibitions including the Nitten.
