I
came across this photo on the internet while doing a search for pottery tools
of all things. Though I have quite a few tools, I seem to go through cut off
wires like crazy and was curious if there are better version than the ones I am
currently using and didn't find one, I am likely to go back to making my own.
At any rate, I found this very perfect display of a rich Iga vase housing a
perfect blossom by Kojima Kenji. The perfect part of this display is that the
vase is resting on a older, used and cracked kiln shelf which in turn rests on
a traditional tatami mat; the contrast of materials and texture is rather intriguing
and certainly an eyeful. In fact, there more that I think about the display the
only way I can think for it to be any better is if it were located in our home!
All I need to do now is wait for the FTD
people to show up
