Jar / Shigaraki / Takahashi Rakusai IV
Here is an intensely fired classic cypress fence pattern Shigaraki jar by Takahashi RakusaiIV. It was placed in a prime location in Takahashi's anagama and thus we see a truly fantastic covering of various colored natural ash glazing and rich 'clay flavor.' The jar dates to 1978 and is in perfect condition with a signed box, 22.5cm.tallx18.7, 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.
