This is one of only two tea pots that Harada Shuroku has ever made; he's well-known for non-handled small tea pourers called hohin, yet a tea pot is something he told me he will stop at two. Why? He's not in the best of health and it took too much energy and time. Here's hoping he feels stronger soon to possibly make more as never has Bizen had such an Aladdin masterpiece as this, never. From the coiled handle to the pleated spout, everything is balanced and harmonizes in form and co ...click for details

Mihara Ken (1958- ), is one of Japan's most creative contemporary ceramic artists. His respect from critics and fans of the pottery world is growing year by year both within and outside of Japan. He comes from the land of Izumo (present-day Shimane Prefecture), a mystical part of Western Japan steeped in ancient mythology and Shinto religion.

This Echizen tsubo-jar is a classic Kamakura 14th century form tsubo that is 21.8cm.tall and 19cm.wide at shoulders, kiln mark on shoulder--rare that is--and in perfect condition. When looking at older jars there are a few points that hint to age; form, lip, 'clay flavor,' base, and thickness of body. This piece comes from a major Tokyo collector and we were fortunate to obtain it. With an unsigned box, museum quality and such a piece is rarely seen outside Japan.

Here is as good as it gets for a Shino tokkuri, or Shino for that matter: warm creamy feldspar glaze, soft hi-iro fire tones, iron-underglaze enso design, great clay and engaging form. Made by the very talented--and humble--Mino potter Hori Ichiro, the tokkuri dates back to about 1997 and is 15.5cm.tall and 9cm.across, signed on side, signed box and is in perfect condition. I enjoy having a work with an enso--'zen circle' around as it reminds me of the cycles we encounter in life; leavin ...click for details
