Description
This is a Tokkuri made by Sozan Kaneshige in 1978 at Moritoshi Tokuzawa's place in Fukuoka Prefecture.
His eldest son, Makoto Kaneshige, had a piece that Moritoshi Tokuzawa fired and delivered to Sozan Kaneshige.
Sozan would make karatsu style pieces for the rest of his life, but the Chosen Karatsu style was the only time he made this piece.
The iron glaze had run down to the bottom, but I believe that Moritoshi Tokuzawa spent a long time polishing it because both the modeling and the glaze color were excellent.
The blue-white straw ash glaze flows down in the form of weeping willows.
To obtain this beautiful pattern, the heat must be neither too high nor too low.
