Several
years back I posted up a single photo and a video of a Furutani Michio Iga
chawan. The video was shot using a cheap turn-table and an equally as
inexpensive digital camera that let me take 3 minute videos. Considering the
date, I thought it would be only fitting to try to build a new slideshow video
with the photos I have on hand to do the piece the justice it deserves. A first
glance it seems a rather simple Iga teabowl but in truth it is a noble and
complex chawan that has many of the tell tale characteristices of Furutani Michio's
pottery from form, firing and foot. I hope this slideshow gives a more
insightful and comprehensive look into a classic chawan by perhaps one of the
most important wood fire potters of the 20th Century. You
