E-SHINO II

I put together another slideshow of a chawan that I had pass through last week. This large and bold chawan in E-Shino style was made by Suzuki Goro and was both a handful and an eyeful as well. Casual in appearance, the bold iron decoration gives one the feeling of directness and spontaneity and above all it is uninhibited; probably the best description of Suzuki's work. About the only thing wrong with this chawan was the fact that it didn't stick around longer for me to study and play with, the large number of pictures I took will have to fill in the void.
