AKI-HENKO II

I put up a blog post back on 10/22/2021 regarding this fall themed Rimpa influenced Aka-Shino henko by Hori Ichiro and finally got around to putting together a quick video slideshow of the pot. I had taken quite a few pictures of this piece along with a number of detail shots and distilled them down to this 3:14 video that I show off the piece well enough to give a clearer sense of the presence and volume of the henko without having the opportunity to sending it around to everyone that would like to handle it after all the postage costs would accumulate rather quickly. As I mentioned in my previous post this pot as with most by Hori Ichiro is a combination of the element of fire, air, earth and water but I may have forgotten one of the most essential and overlooked, that of curiosity and creativity of which this potter has in abundance. Enjoy the video.
