CONTINUITY
A while back I posted a
picture of a sunbeam lit chaire by Furutani Michio and finally got around to
finishing the video slideshow and here it is. Though this chaire dates rather
early in Furutani's career, you can see a continuity of form and firing from
this piece to his last works; as his work progressed, his pots became more and more a blend of tradition and the individual. This particular pot has a very medieval feel
to it but if you study the form and the surface it is a classic piece by one of
the pioneering giants of wood firing in traditions of Iga and Shigaraki. Enjoy
the video slideshow.
