Hagi Drinking Vessels–Plus 1–by Hatano Zenzo and Hideo
Hatano Zenzo (b.1942) was named a Yamaguchi Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property holder for his Hagi wares in 2003. Born in Karatsu, he studied pottery in both Karatsu and Arita before moving to Hagi to apprentice under Hagi great Yoshiga Taibi (1915-1991). He learnt much from his master, and has moved on to create both traditional and modern Hagi wares with both elegance and delicacy -these characteristics gave Zenzo (a beautiful ring to his name) the esteemed designation for Hagi. Here are three Zenzo works, two yunomi and a guinomi, the beige yunomi is 9.7cm.tallx10cm and is Sold, the white-glazed yunomi is 10.3cm.tallx9cm. and is Sold, the Zenzo guinomi is Sold. The other works are by son Hideo(b.1971).
