Bizen Shuhai

Go Ikenishi studies antique ceramics from Japan, China, and Korea.
He applies what he has learned from his studies to his ceramic work.
This guinomi features simple, classic flame patterns known as goma and sangiri.
However, the quality of these flame patterns and the overall modeling is exceptionally high, which surprised me.
The sangiri has a subtle sheen, like a wet rock.
The goma is scattered in small, beautiful spots.
I feel that this guinomi is very close to antique Bizen ware.
