Iga Time - Since We're Talkin' Iga...

Iga-yaki ...

Another interesting adventure into Japanese Ceramics.

After Raku, I went into Kyomizu..

Kyomizu took me into Japanese ink paintings, or, "Landscapes of the Mind"..

From Kyomizu, I went to Mino-yaki.

Mino-yaki brought me Shino and Oribe... "Distorted and Irregular shapes and crazing"

It was crazing, or Kannyu, that lead me to ..

Hagi-yaki.... Kannyu brings old/stained beauty. Wabi-Sabi"..

 Wabi Sabi >  Iga-yaki

 

I got this Mizusashi (Water Container)..

Said to be from the Edo Period.

I don't think this is one of those triple fired pieces.

The Natural Glazing has greens , but, not as much, or, as dark as the really good pieces.

Most of my items are "low priced"..

 

Thanks for viewing,

Alton
