Informal information:
One of those I may regret offering up. Kyogoku Shiho is an excellent painter, and has studied the classics, then put his own twist on it. Alongside the obvious high quality, there is a whimsical side to his pot making and his paintings have great energy.
This example follows the work of Tsukinowa Yusen, the dragon is particularly similar to the wild ones of Yusens paintings, but check out that phoenix, just sublime!
The palette of colours is exciting and different, the rim of the pot is unusual and very decorative. It also has the benefit of a great patina low down and no water stains, this pot has been used and cherished for a long time, a real gem.
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.
