Illustrated is a close-up
of the yuteki, oil spot style of Kimura Yoshihiro. This evocative surface calls
to mind the play, HAGAROMO (The Feather Mantle). The luscious silver feathery
trails reach down the tsubo like metallic tendrils enveloping the pot. Given
the large size of the pot and the disastrous failure rate, the survival of this
piece alone is a significant feat. Created by the son of master temmoku and yuteki
specialist, Kimura Morikazu, Kimura Yoshihiro is the perfect inheritor of the
dynasty pioneered and forged by the three Kimura brothers; Morikazu, Moriyasu
and Morinobu.
