This is the incense case "Amigasa" (Woven Hat) by Rakusai Takahashi, a modern master of Shigaraki ware and a holder of the Shiga Prefecture Intangible Cultural Property for Shigaraki ware techniques. This bold work perfectly embodies the word "Hechimon," which in Shigaraki refers to the unique and unconventional creations of artisans. Valuing "non-uniformity," it incorporates the natural textures, playful spirit, and heartfelt care of the artisan, resulting in a one-of-a-kind piece. Although there is no potter's mark on this piece, it is a work of the third-generation Rakusai Takahashi (real name: Kounosuke Takahashi). Perhaps, in the pursuit of Hechimon, this piece was successfully fired by chance without a potter's mark. Are the raised cracks on the top of the Amigasa a result of kiln transformation? A quiet yet powerful sense of dynamism emanates from within, making me think... could it actually be a UFO? This adorable incense case allows you to contemplate the world of "Hechimon" in the Momoyama-style yakishime pottery that the third-generation Rakusai explored, even extending your thoughts to UFOs from the Earth's interior and the subterranean world of another dimension. Please, by all means, hold it in your hands, admire it, and secretly observe it with affection♪ Approximate Size: 8cm x 8cm x 3.5cm Paulownia Box Size: 10.8cm x 10.8cm x 7cm * Includes the bookmark and cloth with the artist's signature. One side of the two-way joint on the underside of the lid is missing. Perhaps it came off when the incense case, as a UFO, flew out from within. The box and string have some stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections, as this is not a new item. Thank you for viewing. Other items for sale can be found here: #MartialArtistDesignResearch
