Tobi Seiji 飛青磁, literally means "flying Celadon" in Japanese. It is a style of ceramics that refers to the Chinese Longquan ceramics of the 13-14th centuries. This style is highly regarded in Japan. It is often found on tea ceremony ceramics, especially from Kyoto.
You are invited to come along with me as I learn about Japanese ceramics. I will share what I learn about the kilns, history, terminology, potters, decorators, styles, and marks. This is a work in progress. ** NOTICE: I DO NOT ANSWER QUERIES ON PERSONAL PIECES. I DO NOT GIVE VALUATIONS. General comments and questions will still be accepted.
