Informal information:
A unique painted rectangle by Kyogoku Shiho that also feels like a classic. Ume on a pot is always associated with Winter and Spring around the corner. The soba glaze has crawled a little bit (bare patches), but the artist has still come back and painted this pot, a sure sign that it wasn't of serious consequence. Also worth noting is that one front has flowers on the left, the other on the right, to suit a tree leaning in either direction.
Ideal for a flowering tree like Ume, Blackthorn or other Prunus shown in it's Winter image, or just enjoyed in a collection.
Condition: Used, patina, excellent.
Kyogoku Shiho - Real name Toyoki Shinomaru, born 1961, making pottery since he was 30 years old. Has studied masters such as Yusen, Isseki, Ogurayama and Hikosanjin. He copied a Yusen pot as part of a publishing project, and gained a big reputation off the back of that work because it was so close to the original. His painting style is often in a vivid go-sai palette, has also produced relief work.
