This rare and double illustrated Matsukaze Oni-Shino
mizusashi is by Tsukigata Nahiko, the father and creator of all things
Oni-Shino. This very sturdy, weighty hyotan inspired mizusashi is a perfect centerpiece
for chajin and collectors alike where the wonderful crackled feldspar Shino
glaze has cascading rivulets, small streams of ash running down the surface
making for a rather evocative and seldom seen effect among Tsukigata’s works.
The form and surface are excellent examples of Tsukigata’s surfaces and forms
though the Matsukaze (Pine Wind) style surface is rarely seen and is well
represented in the book on the potter, ONI-SHINO where this mizusashi is
illustrated. Beyond the illustration in the ONI-SHINO volume, this mizusashi is
also illustrated in an exhibition catalogue contemporaneously to the book.
