Barely two weeks after I posted up a chawan by Sasaki
Yuzuru this mizusashi showed up and though difficult as heck to photograph it
is the same technique as the former. I am not sure how to classify such
occurences; coincidence, happenstance or serendipity but this does seem to
happen with some regularity and the logicical side says, someone saw the
original post and decided it was a good time to conitue on the path of
downsizing. This particular lobed yuteki mizusashi appears to be mostly dark
with hints of yellow peeking out but with every turn the yellow shows up
through its dusted and spotted surface of dark iridescent spots giving it a
real three dimensional appearance and looking just as much like exotic
camouflage as the chawan. I will admit this is not exactly a great photograph
but it is as good as I could get and hopefully lets the viewer glimpse in to
how the pot appears in person as it is nothing short of amazing. Like the
previous piece there is truly no doubt who made this mizusashi and the skill
and sensitivty it takes to pull off such a noble pot.
