Jar / Shino / Hamanaka Gesson
One of Hamanaka's signature forms is based on old Korean paddled jars; here is a sturdy two-tone Shino henko with wax resist roundels to enjoy the 'clay flavor' and iron brush markings. It's a sublime work I sometimes refer to as visual haiku. In perfect condition with a signed box, 17.5cm.tallx16x12.5., signed on base.
It offers over 450 English pages and 4300+ photos on Japan's pottery scene and the styles and traditions of Japanese pottery.
