Lot Essay
Matsui Kosei started his studies in ceramics in 1946. In 1957, he became a priest at the Getsuoji temple, where in 1969 he built a kiln, so he could research Japanese, Chinese and Korean ceramic techniques. He was hugely influential in the revival of neriage (marbleized, colored-clay ware) that he mastered. In 1993, he was designated as a Living National Treasure.
