Tsubo-Jar / Bizen / Bizen / Hoshino Sei
Large Bizen Tsubo-Jar by Hoshino Sei
Hoshino Sei (b.1959) apprenticed to Mori Togaku in 1996 working on the large O-gama kiln project that continues to this day. Hoshino established his own kiln in 2003 and has already had exhibitions at Tenmaya, the major place to show in Okayama. Also, his works are three Buddhist temples in Osaka as well as the Setouchi City Hall. This Hoshino large jar has a sublime energy surrounding it, as if it's breathing; the firing is terrific with another piece having been placed over the top--stuffed with rice straw--that accounts for the scarlet red tones. A museum piece in perfect condition, 41.5cm.tallx42, signed on side, with a card.
