Just bought a lovely small pot from Matt O. The potter is SEKISHU. Anyone have any information about this
potter?
Thanks, Lynn
 
I don’t have specific information. However....I tried a Google search for Sekishu pottery. If you haven’t already.....You might try that also.....there’s some reading on Sekishu pottery....I don’t know if it will be helpful or not...just a starting point. Content from one point...

About Sekishu Kameyama-yaki

Sekishu Kameyama-yaki is a form of pottery that – rare for pottery nowadays – is produced entirely in-house; from the collection of clay on our home mountain, to the shaping, to the firing. It has also been designated a Hometown Traditional Craft of Shimane Prefecture. Day in and day out, we devote ourselves to our craft to make sure every single piece we produce embodies our philosophy of “Relief through sight, touch, and use.”
Since around the turn of the millennium, we have created many carbonized yakijime vases and beer cups. Carbonized yakijime is a process in which pieces are fired over an extended period of time and discolored during the process, resulting in unique works of art.
We make pieces for wedding receptions, private family parties, senior birthdays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day celebrations, baby showers, and company founding anniversaries.

I have no idea what you have....this was just one link.
 
Tb--thanks for the response. I did try Google--you found a better reference than I. Info from Matt O. was that Sekishu produced fewer than 100 bonsai pots in his lifetime.
Thanks again, Lynn

Well there it is..Ichinokura Sekisyu . Thanks Brian, the chop is a match on my pot. [ not the Koyo signature ] Guess I'll have to learn how to post a photo.
I'm taking that juni to Natures Way for the November Mauro S. workshop. I know there's a tree somewhere under all that foliage.
