I recently received an email asking if I could show
an overall photo of the large Matsuzaki Ken Shino tsubo that I posted in a post
entittled; PERSPECTIVE. When possible, I try to be accomidating and since I
took a large number of photos of this piece and have not built a slideshow
video of the pot, this photo will have to suffice for the time being. As I
pointed out in the original post, I was just not prepared for the actual scale
and volume of the piece as it is quite large and certainly commands the space
it is in and that is around it as well, a pot like this is a lot like a
beautiful friendship. Along with the sheer presence of it being a large pot,
the form is sturdy and solid with a surface that has just about everything you
can imagine from the thick whipped cream like Shino, subtle iridescence here and
there, rich yohen and ash coating the pot forming areas of beautiful glass
across the piece. I have to admit, it was an impressive piece and spent way to
short a time here but none the less it has left an indelible mark on my mind's
eye and will be hard to forget as time goes by*.
(*Sorry, I couldn't resist, not one but two
CASABLANCA references. How often do you see that in a pottery blog post?)
