ONE HIT WONDER
I have to admit when
thinking about the Iga and Seiji potter, Kishimoto Kennin, Ki-Seto is about the
last thing that springs to mind but that is exactly what we are looking at
proving he is no one hit wonder where it comes to surfaces. This is neither my
pot nor my photo, this chawan belongs to a fellow collector and is an earlier
piece by Kishimoto showing off a classic form and somewhat unique glaze surface
that along with all of his other surfaces, he has managed to make this Ki-Seto particular
to his studio. Beyond the form, the slightly meandering lip, protruding rib,
centrally located and the fast spatula work breath the right amount of movement
and life into this chawan making it somewhat enjoyable in the viewing and presumably
even more so in the using.
