FWS


Things being what they are during these strange days, I have had a bit more time and went ahead and made up a handful of slideshow videos. This slideshow video is of the Enomoto Kyousuke Shino chawan that I photographed some weeks back. I think this video gives an insight in to the atmosphere, texture and depth of the glaze and the neat details that bring this Enomoto chawan to life. Beyond the thick, fat white Shino, two other features that show an attention to detail is how the bowl is lobed altering the symmetry of the form and the simple way in which the wari-kodai is articulated sloping inward and limiting contact with whatever surface it commands. I hope this short video gives a sense of what this Shino chawan is like in hand.
