Artist: Hidekazu Yamamura's Shigaraki-yaki (Shigaraki ware) kohiki tokkuri (sake bottle). My father purchased this directly from the artist at a solo exhibition at Kyoto Daimaru in 2007. The bottle itself is the only item included. - Size: Height 10.2cm, Maximum body width 10.2cm, Spout 3.7cm, Weight: 307g Capacity is exactly 360ml, which is two go (a unit of volume for rice and sake). As a characteristic, "amemori" (water leakage) is starting to appear. The following is a quote from the artist himself: 〈Shigaraki Shuzan Kiln Hidekazu Yamamura〉 【Greeting】 Born in Kyoto, I still remember the shock I felt when I first encountered the clay of Shigaraki in my late teens, having only known the smooth clay of Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware). That feeling led me to come to Shigaraki in my early twenties and become involved in pottery. Since my independent days, I have been making works with natural ash glaze on Shigaraki clay, rather than the original old Shigaraki-style yakishime pottery. And now, to further deepen this, I am drawn to the bright and rich Tenpyo culture of the time of Emperor Shomu, over 1250 years ago, the phantom capital of Shigaraki, which was the center of Japan for about two years, "Shigaraki Palace (Shigaraki no Miya)". I pray and create pottery to express and create in my own way with the powerful Shigaraki clay and the deep, flavorful ash glaze. 【Pottery History】 1967 Born in Kyoto as the eldest son of Sensho (dyeing artisan) Kenzan Yamamura. 1987 Graduated from the Molding Department of the Kyoto Prefectural Ceramic Training School. 1988 Graduated from the Advanced Course of the same school. 1989 Graduated from the Kyoto City Industrial Experiment Station.
