Spectacular kiln affects dapple this playful form by artist Sugimoto Sadamitsu enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Iga Hanire. Ash has encrusted the base so thickly he has had to grind it off, this happens when the piece gets buried up to a point in the ash on the kiln flooror up against a wall, and the works come up together this cooled encrustation. That combines with the natural sunrise colors or “Hi-iro” of the clay, and the glassy green beads wrapping around the jocular shape make for a pleasant experience. And after all, these things are not just meant to be an object in a room, but an object to be experienced, something to engage the viewer in a personal conversation.
Size, W 14.2 cm ( 5-1/2 inches) H 23.6 cm ( 9-1/4 inches)
Condition, Excellent
Sugimoto Sadamitsu was born in Tokyo in 1935. A strong adherent to the Zen tradition, Sadamitsu established his own kiln at 33, receiving the kiln name from his mentor Daitokuji priest Tachibana Oki. His Zen studies have refined the spiritual side of his work, and all of his wood fired ceramics have a quiet and confident power. He has spent his life in the research of kohiki, Shigaraki Iga and Raku wares, and is more than well known in tea circles for the discriminating soul of his works. For more information on this artist see the book Fired with passion : contemporary Japanese ceramics ISBN 1-891640-38-0.
