KI-SETO REDUX

I know that I put this particular pot up back in 2022*, so no, the answer is my mind isn't going quite yet unless I owe you money. The previous post, entitled, DRAMA NOT TRAGEDY showed off a Ki-Seto kinuta hanaire by Kato Kozo which was photographed using non-discript incandescent light. The current photo, a Ki-Seto redux, though a slightly different angle was taken using tungsten lighting and to my eye it makes for a remarkable difference and presents the piece which is closer to the actual color showing off the more soft, straw yellow that repesents the glaze quality better. I know I dwell on the varying light sources a bit too much but the truth is that I am trying to see pots in hand to their fullest capacity and seeing them highlighted in varying ways shows and captures details, subtleties and nuances that are sometimes overlooked, now if only I was a better photographer!
