Rare lavender tinged glaze covers the rough Iga clay forming this sake flask by important artist Atarashi Kanji enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Iga Tokkuri. The unusual coloration is punctuated with classic Iga traits, shell marks, undulations in the form, and an emerald drip clinging to the rim. It is 15 cm (6 inches) tall and in excellent condition, directly from the artist. I highly recommend this with the guinomi previously listed.
Atarashi Kanji was born in Osaka in 1944, and graduated the Osaka College of Craft design. After 3 years in Kobe, and 4 in Kishiwada (Wakayama) he came to settle in Iga, where he was one of the driving forces behind the resurrection and preservation of the Iga tradition. Although displayed at the National Craft Fair, he prefers the intimacy of the private exhibition, of which he holds several every year. And if ones visit to japan is not timed right for an exhibition, he can otherwise be found at his kiln working along with his son and daughter.
