Description
Yu Fujiwara's designs are characterized by their thickness and heaviness.
This Tokkuri is a work from his later years.
He was very skilled at creating flame patterns using a refractory clay called Botamochi.
Half of the body of this Tokkuri is finished in a red clay color, with Botamochi applied to it.
It appears he intended to place the Botamochi on the back of the Tokkuri to delight those who used it.
