Informal information:

Yasui Gyoun is a lesser known potter outside of Japan, his production is very limited, and hence his pots are hard to come by.

This is the first painted pot I've had the pleasure to find from him. The glaze is as good a buckwheat as the best, the paintings are wonderfully evocative of Chinese splashed ink paintings of the Ming and Qing periods. A  special piece.

Previous Gyoun  pots I've had have been a slightly absorbent clay, but this seems much more vitrified, I would still advise protection from frost.

Condition: possibly unused, excellent. There is a small white inclusion bump on one side which may be intentional but is more likely something that was in the clay or glaze and fired that way.

Yasui Gyoun, real name Fukuji Sugiura, son of Akimu Yasui, also a maker of Shohin size pots. Born 1930 and began making pots for Shohin bonsai in 1970, his pots stem from his love of small bonsai, his hand made  and sometimes elaborate details decorate very practical wares.
