yet another pot collection to add to the forum library. I am in the nascent stages of pot addiction; here are some currently in my stead. some have trees and some don’t. I’ll update as more pots join the collection post-Japan trip.
starting off with a banger I acquired yesterday at Koju-en in Kyoto - an Ino Shukuho shohin mokko dressed in green and grey, his signature oribe glaze inspired and IMO surpassed only by Heian Tofukuji’s:
next are two Koyo shohin ovals in a Takatatori? namako? glaze. the running pattern and “snow cap” set the first apart in my eyes from many of his other works:
the second is more subdued in both shape and color, and the blue and brown complement each other well. the dripping glaze is quite nice:
a mame round from Sekisen, with clean lines and a clear attention to detail:
a 3-inch painted Tosui with a blue-green rim and feet depicting pines on a mountain, a temple, and scholars playing chess:
a newer ceramic by Kiyoshi Koiwai of the Fuka kiln, known for his skill in thin-walled glazed pots. this shohin round is a delicate and feminine pot all around with a wide lip in beautiful crystalline green, with both clusters of spots and running streaks. one of my favorites:
these are all shohin pots…more to come in larger sizes.
