About the collection
Provenance & Valuation
A note on where these works come from, how the estimate ranges were prepared, and what they do — and do not — mean.
The collection
These works come from the private collection of Daryl and Reid Fujita of Hawai‘i. The collection is offered for private sale, piece by piece, by direct inquiry — not through any auction house or online checkout.
Provenance
For the works where it is recorded, the valuation document lists provenance as Joji Wago. Provenance details for an individual piece can be discussed directly with Daryl Fujita.
The 2021 valuation
The collection was reviewed in a 2021 valuation document prepared by Sotheby’s from photographic evidence. The listed price for each work is the upper figure of that work’s valuation range, shown in British pounds (GBP) because the valuation was prepared in GBP.
About the prices
Listed prices are the seller’s asking prices, set from the 2021 Sotheby’s valuation. They are statements of opinion, not guarantees of value, authentication, or endorsement, and remain subject to prior sale. Offers and questions are welcome — contact Daryl Fujita directly.
Provenance, documented
The Joji Wago connection
The collection traces to Joji Wago. Two pieces from the family’s records speak to his direct connection with the potters of this circle: a photograph of Mr. Wago seated with Hamada Shoji, and a book inscribed to him by the English potter Bernard Leach in 1966.
