Hachi-Serving Bowl / Oribe Style / Mashiko / Nagakura Suiko
Pleated Bowl by Nagakura Suiko
Right now at the Mashiko Ceramic Museum is a group show of Hamada Shoji, Shimaoka Tatsuzo, Kamoda Shoji, Kimura Ichiro and Nagakura Suiko (http://www.mashiko-museum.jp/museum/ex150404/index.html); the only female is Nagakura(b.1937).
