Exquisite works by "Masao Moriyama," a potter who trained as a late-life apprentice of the master craftsman "Kanjirō Kawai" at the "Shokei Kiln" in Gojozaka, Kyoto! [Ash Glaze Cylindrical Drawn Grass Pattern Water Jar] Diameter: 15cm Height: 16cm Work from the Spring 2008 Noborigama (climbing kiln) firing The practiced (brushwork) of the "Itchin technique" runs across the surface... Among the "gentle" vessels with high foot finishes that repeat customers love, this is a particularly valuable "Noborigama" work that shines! *Twice a year, the "Noborigama" firing began as part of a "town revitalization" project. *As this is an antique item, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about its condition! *(Private file) Attached
