| Here is yet another beautiful guinomi (sake cup) made by Unokawa Kazumasa, who is a master of Tenmoku pottery, one of the most difficult to make. This particular piece is a more personal work, with more fluidity in its design. Yet, as much as a Tenmoku piece, the stellar quality of the cup relates the potter’s poetic spirit and his relation to the cosmos. Unokawa Kazumasa was born in Nara in 1952, not far from Kyoto. He never had a mentor and let “the clay, the kiln, the fire and nature be his teachers”. As a true artist, he allows the clay to express itself through him and engages it in a creative dialogue from which are born heavenly gems. Unokawa Kazumasa says: “There are various faces and personalities in pottery, which I see. They reveal themselves to me as I carefully come face-to-face with them.” Unokawa-sensei regularly holds exhibitions in Osaka and Nara, among other Japanese cities. And he was even made an honorary citizen of Santa Cruz, after an exposition there, in 1988. The guinomi is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box. Dimensions: 7 cm x 6 cm (2.8 in x 2.4 in); weight 120 g (4.2 oz) More pictures available on demand Please make sure you read my Sales Policy Page and kindly inquire if you have any question. | |||||||||||||||
