Chosen-Karatsu Yohen Tsubo by Maruta Munehiko
Few Chosen-Karatsu jars are ever seen and even fewer with an intense yohen-kiln changes one that actually–barely–survive a firing—like this one by Maruta Munehiko. The intense firing pushed some areas around the shoulder inwards and the various ‘landscapes’ are engaging with every turn. Truly a rare Karatsu work in perfect condition with a signed box, on the small side at 21.5cm.tallx22.6. Maruta told us it’s *very* hard indeed to get one like this……..as mentioned numerous times. 🙂
