In terms of a yohen Bizen firing it doesn't get much better then the firing seen on this large 'potato' tokkuri by Kondo Masahiko(b.1971). Kondo studied with Kakurezaki Ryuichi starting in 1996 and established his own kiln in 2003; he's one of Bizen more popular younger potters, along with Miyao and Yokoyama.

An apprentice takes on many roles in a traditional setting; of course he/she works very hard in the studio, yet they also do other tasks, such as picking up clients from the train station. When I used to go visit Kakurezaki Ryuichi in the early 90s I remember Ishii Takahiro as 'my driver' on a few occasions. Well, he has since graduated from his apprenticeship with Kakurezaki and established his own kiln two years ago. He's yet to build a wood-burning kiln--yet will fire a 'rente ...click for details

Often times it's hard to differentiate Bizen from Tamba, and say Iga from Shigaraki. Clues are found in forms, firing and clay and this holds true for all the styles mentioned as examples.

It has a confident form--reminiscent of old Korean henko jars--and classic Tamba firing. In perfect condition with a signed box, 20c ...click for details
