Illustrated is a poetic ink
and wash rendition of a Rimpa influenced Shino chawan by Mino veteran, Wakao
Toshisada. The simplicity of the form, outlined in ink with no superfluous
details, houses the ink and wash flower that decorates the chawan. Knowing the
work of Wakao, the image conjures to mind how the chawan would look in clay and
three dimensions. Though there is little detail, bare bones if you will,
everything needed to know this chawan is rendered in a few moments of lyrical brushwork.
