ALL BUSINESS VIDEO

I took a few minutes this morning to build a short video slideshow of the Fujioka Shuhei Iga chawan that I put up in a previous post. As I mentioned before, this bowl is all business though filled with character, purpose and an homage to a medieval tradition. As I look around the bowl, well the pictures, I am reminded of an old emakimono scroll from the Momoyama period where the story and narration unfold as you go around the chawan with varying details painting a simple and deep picture of Fujioka's understanding of tradition. I hope this short video slideshow gives a slightly more in-depth understanding of this Iga chawan.
