A black cloak is draped from the shoulders of this mysterious character lurking in the shadows of the tea room by legendary potter Higashida Shigemasa enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Hikidashi-kuro Chawan. Matte over much of the surface, The dark glaze trails off near the base, revealing a startlingly white clay. The contrast is both abrupt and challenging, creating a tension most welcome on an otherwise subtle work. This is a great example of the diverse style of this artist who is known for radical textures and natural effects. It perfectly displays another aspect of his personality, a quieter side of the man found one on one.
