DO OVER

Several years back I posted up a single photo and a video of a Furutani Michio Iga chawan. The video was shot using a cheap turn-table and an equally as inexpensive digital camera that let me take 3 minute videos. Considering the date, I thought it would be only fitting to try to build a new slideshow video with the photos I have on hand to do the piece the justice it deserves. A first glance it seems a rather simple Iga teabowl but in truth it is a noble and complex chawan that has many of the tell tale characteristices of Furutani Michio's pottery from form, firing and foot. I hope this slideshow gives a more insightful and comprehensive look into a classic chawan by perhaps one of the most important wood fire potters of the 20th Century.
