Vase c. 20th century

Kinjō Jirō's "Vase" is a striking example of 20th-century ceramics. The rounded, bulbous form of the vase is adorned with a vibrant band of stylized foliage, painted in shades of green, red, and yellow. The intricate details of the design, reminiscent of traditional Japanese motifs, are meticulously rendered, showcasing Jirō's skilled craftsmanship. This piece, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the artist's ability to blend traditional techniques with a modern aesthetic.
