"Ash forms enigmatic shapes on this cocoon shaped wall vase by Yamada Jozan IV enclosed in the original signed wooden box.  It is 8 cm (3 inches) diameter, 6 inches(16 cm) tall and in excellent condition. &lt;br&gt;\r\nYamada Jozan IV was born into the house of third generation Living National Treasure Yamada Minoru in 1954.  He graduated the Tokoname High Ceramics Course in 1973, before entering Osaka University of art.  Disappointed with the university scene he left to work under his father, creating a climbing kiln, whereupon he began working with various forms, not only the famous teapots forwhich his family was known, but also ash glazed ware such as this piece.  He succeeded the family name of Jozan in 2006 upon the death of his father.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
