An austere form calling to mind the strictness of form and years of practice required to master the way of tea by Ningen Kokuho Isezaki Jun enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Bizen Kuro Chawan. A flash of light strikes out on the front. Like staring at the burning wick of a candle it makes all around it seem dark. Beyond, that dark charring fades out to bitter greens and lively textures, one can imagine the beauty of staring into the bowl at the vibrant, frothy drink.

I cannot help be see the incense stick burns in a Buddhist altar cloth when I look at this Shino Chaire by Wakao Toshisada which comes enclosed in the original signed wooden box. Inevitably as more sticks of incense are added to a koro, some will break and fall onto the altar cloth, smoldering as they disappear into smoke, leaving only a fleeting scent and shadow-like scar in the drapery. If one has ever been deep into the darkness of a temple, you may know the quiet feeling of contemplation...

Dawn breaks over snow laden boulders, the shadows waxing lavender on this spectacular incense burner by Kaneta Masanao enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Hagi Haku-yu Kamahen Kurinuki Koro. This style of digging the work out of the clay rather than forming the clay on a wheel has been a signature of this artists work for more than two decades. The white glazing has altered to soft lavender in the firing process, creating a feeling of opulence over the organic vessel.
