During the 15th Annual Contemporary Kobachi Artist Exhibition, Keiun won a gold award for his work in glazed bonsai containers. The given name of Keiun(桂雲) is Yasuo Fukuda. Fukushige (Bushuan) is his nephew, and he learned pottery in his studio. Keiun also entered the 14th Kobachi, and this display is miles above 2019 in every way. He’s inherited many of the glazes from Fukushige now that he is retired, and also does quite a bit of calligraphy work on containers. There is an excellent display of variety, classical styles and glazes here. His more traditional style couldn’t be more different from that of his nephew. (source: https://japanesebonsaipots.net/)
