The photos are full sized, so difficult to scan (the dish is
photographed in actual size.) What did you think, did the
dimensions match what you thought?
Also, what forms were you interested in related to their sizes.
The images I have include inside depth. Very useful if you want
to try and duplicate them.

Dear Hank Murrow,
Thank you for that information.
From the illustration I made a guess that it might have been either =
underglaze of overglaze but realised it would not be pure iron oxide =
because of the antiquity.
Now I wonder what the mineral (I use that term deliberately) content is =
of that 'Ona-ita stone.'
Best regards,
Ivor.

Dear Lee Love,=20
I knew you would have something to say about this. As you will see from =
my post to Hank, who gives us a good clue, I thought the colour, though =
strong was not due to pure iron oxide.
Look forward to learning about your results.
Best regards,
Ivor

I renewed the large volume on Thursday. It is full of work I have
never seen published before. Several of the images are large (same
size as actual.) Really gives you a different perspective on Shino.

Dear Lee Love=20
I had a look at that weblog.
I was rather disappointed with the one you state is E-Shino. Not the =
colour in the example in the Zen Fine Art book. The graphic was rather =
fussy as well as having a very strong contrast with the background tone =
and a lack of orange hue.
Best regards
Ivor.

Most are not orange. Many are subdued, unlike many of the tea bowls
we see. The mukozuki and other non-teabowl forms were not put in the
choice part of the kiln. I will put up more photos as I can.
I need scan at a lower resolution. I scanned at 300dpi and
it makes them look fuzzy on the screen. Will try 150 next time.

Dear Lee Love,
I may have asked about dimensions but my comment was related to the =
illustrations of ceramics in the book, not on the weblog.
I wanted to know why your own illustration of E-Shio with spidery =
calligraphy in the bowls and on the rim was of a very different, much =
darker brown colour from that in the illustration I had seen, which was =
a strong orange hue.
Best regards,
Ivor
