Description
Tosyu Yamamoto was known as a master of the potter's wheel.
He favored symmetrical, refined forms.
This is a work from late in his career.
This Guinomi is in the Sangiri style, fired in the back of the kiln.
Earth, fire, and ash alone create a surprising variety of colors.
I can discern hues of iron rust, white, pale silver-blue, vermilion, and gold.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1906.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1987.
He passed away in 1994.
