OLD IMAGES

I have been trying to create various files of digital images I have by both potter and pottery tradition and came across these old images of a simple kogo with a somewhat interesting story. What makes this kogo interesting is that it was discovered by accident while we were visiting the studio of Honiwa Rakunyu II, while looking at and inside his kiln, we spotted this lone kogo from the recent firing still on a shelf way off in the distance with wads still attached. We pointed it out to Honiwa-san and he retrieved it, later knocking off the wads, putting it in a signed box and then gave it to my wife as a small gift. I realize these photos are not the best, they date to the very late 90s using a digital camera my wife borrowed from her work, taken when we lived in NH if memory serves me correctly. This kogo, along with a number of other kogo, guinomi and yunomi that we received as gifts were on constant display prior to our last move and due to the limited space in our current home they are all sequestered away. It certainly was a nice little display and I am thinking that the nostalgia of it all is getting the better of me and I might just need to go get these pieces out again so that we can see them in 3-D again, hopefully Khan will cooperate.
