Like a Zen monk going out into the world offering prayers and blessings, so too I hope this chawan finds its Way to some place across the world where it will teach the lessons of the beauty of an Iga chawan, the beauty of materials and nature, and of the beauty of Furutani's spirit. This fresh water jar- mizusashi has a brilliant ash glaze adorning the front two sides. A 'waterfall' of greens, ranging from pine to emerald, cascade over the front and end in a rich patch of koge or blue 'scorch' markings and yohen effects. The clay has fine quartz stones bursting out around the surface while a back corner of glaze drips over the corner very much like Ninsei. Perfect condition, stamped on base, with a signed box- 17.8cm.tall with lid, 17.7cm.across diagonally.
