This full-ripe form is another original shape never seen before in the long 1000 year history of Bizen pottery. As noted many times before, Kakurezaki Ryuichi(b.1950) has opened up new doors to what Bizen can be, and has become; he is the Heisei leader for Bizen--more about Kakurezaki at e-yakimono.net This henko-jar has a very pleasing brownish-red firing and the form is actually soothing to gaze upon. The angled ears give it a very sculptural feel and add a 'relaxed-tension' to the rounded form. In perfect condition with a signed box, signed on base and is 22cm.tallx35.5cm.long and 20cm.deep, it dates to 1997.
