I know I have written about
Matsubayashi Hosai XIV in the past and recently I found a simple Asahi-yaki Usagi
kogo. Though in a signed box by Hosai XIV, it is more than likely studio ware but never the
less a nice reminder of an interesting encounter. Found on the
ubiquitous auction website a few months back, I thought this would make a nice
Christmas gift for my wife as well as help usher in the New Year, the year of
the rabbit. Though pale in appearance, there is some very attractive blushing
to pink as well as very subtle gohon spots here and there all indicative of
Asahi pottery and of the Matsubayashi family. Though this little rabbit is a
simple eto-omiyage it has a pleasant demeanor and has just the right amount of
playfulness to make for a perfect little kogo and a nice little gift and as I
am reminded now and again, it surely beats a lump of coal.
