Illustrated is a fine shikishi by legendary potter; Kato
Tokuro. This shikishi is painted in a rich, deep black with areas of
"flying white" appearing like a noble pot, balanced in the center of
the card with the depth of his spirit evident in the bokki of the image. It is
quite possible it is all in the wrist, but far more likely it is the spirit of
the potter that creates these dramatic calligraphies. Over the years I have
seen quite a few shikishi and kakejiku by Kato Tokuro that depict the kanji for
"tsubo" (pot) and each one is a bit different and unique, just like
the pots of the master himself.
