Description
I guess he did this work between the ages of 60 and 70.
In his later years, he moved to a quieter, more powerful style, but around age 60 to 70, his works are more decorative and dynamic in style.
There are three wonderful things about this work.
The first is about the fire pattern.
The rich gray Yohen, rocky Kigoma, and beautiful red clay colors are very nice.
The second is the intense spatula carving of the pattern.
Kanji characters for the moon and flowers are embedded on both sides, with a simplified hedge pattern separating them.
Finally, the two are fused together as one Tokkuri, and it is amazing that they do not interfere with each other and are properly completed as a single work of art.
