Description
This Tokkuri was made by Sozan when he was between 60 and 70 years old.
This Hidasuki Tokkuri was fired in an electric kiln.
His electric kiln is equipped with ducts and can burn firewood.
The firing process takes about one week, which is a long time.
The firewood flames create a beautiful surface texture that cannot be achieved by electricity alone.
I find the design balance of this Tokkuri to be genius.
The body swells powerfully and converges to the neck all at once, creating a sense of catharsis.
The way the rice straw is wrapped to create the markings is also perfect.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1909.
He served as an assistant to his older brother, Kaneshige Toyo.
He built a kiln in Maruyama, Okayama Prefecture, in 1964.
A few years later, he perfected the Hidasuki technique using an electric kiln.
He returned to Bizen City in 1982.
He passed away in 1995.
