KEEPING TRACK

I made this short video slideshow of a Shigaraki chawan by Koyama Naohiko and then put it into a file for future use and basically forgot about it, I need a better method of keeping track of things for sure. I built this slideshow to best show off the simplicity and charm of the bowl while obviously calling attention to the rich ash covered surface, the very fine firing and the punctuation of emerald drops contrasted against the primal scars left by the shells that at one time held this chawan off the shelf. When you add the surface, the simple form and other details the bowl shows off a quiet grace and movement that entices the viewer, the nice attention to detail regarding the kodai doesn't hurt either. I hope this video gives a more rounded perspective of what makes this chawan tick as well as the character it processes. Enjoy!
