A SMALL GLIMPSE OF DAI-KANNYU

Up next at I,Potter TV, well on Youtube to be fair is this splendid Yamato Yasuo Dai-Kannyu (kairagi)  Hagi guinomi. I made this short video slideshow using what details I thought best captured the essence of this diminutive but impactful guinomi giving a small glimpse of dai-kannyu in the round. The dai-kannyu, big cracks are certainly front and center on this piece and rather hard to miss  with a surfacethat looks very different under varying light sources. There is a real beauty to the soft multi-layered appearance of the Hagi glaze that is almost brutally interrupted by the deep, tactile fissures that define Yamato Yasuo's dai-kannyu pottery of which this is just a very small example but illustrative of the effect and process that he has embarked upon. Enjoy the video.
