A friend sent me this all too
short video of Nakazato Taroemon XIII working and a brief appearance of the
famous Karatsu Ochawangama covered over in a soft blanket of grass which is now
a shrine in the city of Karatsu. Known for his E-garatsu iron decorated wares
and his vivid Persian blue style pottery, Taroemon XIII (1923-2009) is shown
brushing an iron pigment over slip on a tsubo, the video also showns some still
photos of his father, Ningen Kokuho (Juyo Mukei Bunkazai) Nakazato Muan,
Taroemon XII ( 1895-1995) at his kiln and at work and is represented by a vivid
Karatsu mizusashi.
