NEW!!! JAPANESE STUDIO POTTERY: Bizen Yohen Tsubo Jar by YAMAMOTO IZURU

Description

YAMAMOTO IZURU (1944-) is the 4th son of the late Bizen Living National Treasure Yamamoto Toshu.
The globular form of this pot is called full bunrin-apple. The firing is a rich varied colored yohen with a magical “clay window” toward the base streaked with ghostly hidasuki lines. Between the ash glaze and the window, this tsubo is quite magnificent. Photos tell all.
The tsubo is 26.5cm. tall, 26.6 cm. across, signed on the base. In perfect condition with a signed box.
Provenance: purchased in 2008 at the Robert Yellin Gallery in Japan.
