Jar / Bizen / Bizen / Mori Togaku
Bizen Jar-Henko by Mori Tagaku
This noble Bizen jar was made by Mori Togaku(b.1937) and fired in 1990, only a few were made in this form.It was fired in his 53 meter anagama and recalls the influence of his meetings with Kamoda Shoji; the two, along with Ezaki Issei, held now legendary three-person exhibitions in Tokyo in the late 60s. This is a major work in a smaller form by one of the most important Bizen ceramic artists of all time. Not only is the form totally unique for Bizen, so is the light dusting of goma and that all-so-special 'clay flavor' that only Mori can get from his o-gama large kiln. A work from this same period is now in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City; other Mori works are in the collections of the Tokyo and Kyoto National Museums, among others. A museum piece with a signed box, in excellent condition, 26.4cm.tallx21.5, stamped on base.
