Mashiko Yohen Jomon-Zogan Guinomi by Shimaoka
On my desk as I write this is a price list for a 2004 Shimaoka Tatsuzo(1919-2007) exhibition where it shows guinomi ranging in price from 90,000 yen to 360,000 yen; that's quite a wide gap and the reason is for rarity of firing. This means the higher top priced ones Shimaoka was only able to get ... More

Large Iga Yohen-Ash-Iron Glazed Box by Hasu Y.
This is the largest work of the current ten pieces we have by Hasu Yoshitaka--please see preview photos of the others in listing 735504. The rounded box form reminds me of the bold ones that Tsuji Seimei made in the 1980s. Hasu's box has the same energy yet with a completely different glazing sch... More

Bizen Guinomi by Isezaki Jun
A fine Bizen guinomi by current Living National Treasure Isezaki Jun(b.1936) in terms of the low, oval form and the very rich firing; the goma in the 'pool' is superb. An ishihaze-stone bursts out from one side and on the kodai-foot a smaller one did the same creating a minor firing crack on the ... More
