TORI-TSUBO
I
just received this wonderful porcelain tsubo from a collector to put up on my
trocadero marketplace, though quite a nice pot it doesn't quite go with all of
his rather rustic, wood fired pieces. The exquisitely painted sparrow and
foliage across the surface with vivid watercolor like effects calling to mind a
scene right out of early autumn and wraps partially around the tsubo leaving
large, imagined areas of negative space. The detail of the painting is rather
intricate and obviously owes its inspiration to many of the Meiji era and 20th century Nihonga painters of which
Watanabe Seitei and Konno Bairei immediately springs to mind. I took a group of
photos and built this short video slideshow to help fill out the pot and
hopefully give a sense of the quality of painting and the essence of 20th
century Japanese porcelain painting.
