Hey Mel and all clayarters!
I saw this show on my last day in Tokyo. It was mind-blowing. As usual
the pictures, while beautiful, don't do the pieces justice. (In fact, the
having to stand politely in front of the glass and not fondle these pieces
isn't justice either, but that's another story.) The depth of these shinos
is just staggering. I wandered from piece to piece muttering, "Now how in
the world can you get THREE distinct color layers in a gray shino!?" and
"Oh, now THIS is a SHINO!" On and on. I was pretty tired so muttered more
than I usually do when in public, but that too is another story.
Okay, enough blathering. Thanks for showing the pics!
Megan

Dear Mel;
Now THIS is what I call Shino! While visiting Louise Cort in her
office at the Freer last September, she showed me a book on this potter,
though there was much more than teabowls in it. Would love to know his
firing schedule/r=E9gime. Osamu Suzuki......check him out folks, it's real.
Cheers, Hank in Eugene
