Vermithrax16 Posted March 13, 2019 Report Posted March 13, 2019 Something different for me. My wife, let's just say, is not really into the whole sword and tsuba passion. It was my birthday yesterday and in advance, she wanted birthday ideas. I decided to side step anything sword related, and I was inspired by the okimono member Frank Gorelik had up a while ago. So I looked for okimono. Well it's a bit hard to know what you are looking at, when you don't know what you are looking at Luckily member Raymond Singer had the perfect contact for me to work with and I thank him. I now have a rabbit okimono made by Miyashita Zenji (1939-2012). It's in the medium of ceramic, and it's truly beautiful. The color is an off blue that's hard to describe (celadon?) and the work is calming and peaceful. I really am happy and it's a fine gift from the wife. Very happy with the outcome, thank you Raymond.

TETSUGENDO Posted March 14, 2019 Report Posted March 14, 2019 Jeremiah, Okimono are for looking at, they are something to delight the eye. They of course are meant to reference the seasons, an important holiday, or some other timely reference, but above all their lot in life is to be beautiful. This lovely bunny accomplishes all of these things! Cheers, -S- 2 Quote
