CLASSIC CINEMA

I stumbled on a group of a dozen or so slideshow videos that I had made when I first started making slideshows, there is a nice group of pots from Kumano, Tsukigata, Yamato Yasuo and several Hori Ichiro among others. I decided to put up this early slideshow video of a very nice Shino chawan by one of my favorites, Hori Ichiro, a classic piece by him with just wonderful glaze quality. As you can see in the video, the bowl is broad and has a strong form with an excellent interplay between the white of the feldspar and the rust hue of the iron which has glimpses of iridescence. In truth, this is a very visually appealing bowl which is equally so in person, having just enough manipulation of the form to feel at home in the hands and resting in the palm, I am hoping this slideshow "classic" gives one the sense of what the bowl has to say.
