Description
Toshu Yamamoto was known as a master of the potter's wheel.
He favored symmetrical, refined forms.
This Guinomi is a piece from his mid-career.
His mark is designed in the shape of a near-equilateral triangle.
This Guinomi was made using clay with a low iron content.
He wrapped the piece in straw before firing it in a Noborigama climbing kiln.
Because it was not completely sealed during the process, some smoke entered the kiln, altering the Hidasuki pattern and the color of the clay.
He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture in 1906.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1987.
He passed away in 1994.
