Description

Tosyu Yamamoto was known as a master of the potter's wheel.
He favored symmetrical, refined forms.
This is a work from his later career.
This Guinomi is made from clay with a relatively low iron content, giving it a lighter overall color.
The finely scattered natural glaze covers the entire piece like a black snowstorm.
The natural glaze on the interior has lost its luster and resembles desert sand.

He was born in Bizen City, Okayama Prefecture, in 1906.
He was designated a Living National Treasure in 1987.
He passed away in 1994.
