YURIKO! REVISITED
Quite
some time back I wrote a blog post entitled; YURIKO! with a detail shot of a
large tsubo by Yoshida Takashi. I was recently asked if I had any overall shots
of the pot and if so, could I please send a picture of the pot. I do indeed have
an overall, quite a few in fact and choose this picture to give a sense of the
piece with its smallish foot, broad shoulder and mouth and wonderful mentori
faceting around the pot which in no way interferes with the vivid underglaze
decoration. Though I mentioned the pot was large, I believe it was well over a
foot tall and wider yet but the exact dimensions escape me at the moment, the
images were easier to find than the notes. This jar today is at home with a
large, hakuji style fluted tsubo, larger yet by Takanaka Ko making for a rather
stark and impressive display.
