This is a piece my husband acquired over twenty years ago when he visited a bi-annual exhibition held in Kyoto. I hope you like it. Deigyu Sugimoto Born in 1940 (Showa 15). Born as the eldest son of the ryotei (Japanese restaurant) "Hanasue" in front of the south gate of Myoshin-ji Temple in Kyoto. Opened "Kappo Daikichi" (Kyoto, Teramachi Nijo) at the age of 25. Began making pottery around the age of 30. Mainly produced Karatsu, Kohiki, Shigaraki, and Bizen ware, and had interactions with Kazuo Yagi and Tokuro Kato. Became an antique dealer at the age of 48. After that, he stopped making pottery, and the shop is now "Kotto Sabo Daikichi," a cafe where you can enjoy coffee and antiques. Passed away on December 20, 2024. May he rest in peace. The tokkuri (sake bottle) is small, and the flow of the white glaze has a nice flavor. Size: Maximum diameter 75mm x height 125mm I would like to show respect to the artist, Mr. Sugimoto, and would like to refrain from a significant price reduction, but I hope you will like it. Inquiries are welcome. Type...Pottery Type...Sake vessel Type...Tokkuri (sake bottle) Type of ware...Karatsu-yaki
