Title
Fresh-water
jar
with
shrimp-shaped
ears
Description
The "
ears
" on this
fine
mizusashi
are
fashioned
in the
shape
of
shrimp
,
which
suggest
a
congratulatory
theme
. The
work
exhibits
pleasing
ash
marks
from the
firing
and the
rich
,
toffee-colored
(amegusuri)
glaze
which
is
a
special
attribute
of the
Ohi
family
kilns
. The
founder
of the
Ohi
kiln
is
said
to have been an
artisan
for the
Raku
family
in
Kyoto
, and was
given
the
formula
for the
amegusuri
glaze
as a
parting
gift
when
he
traveled
to
Kanazawa
with the
fourth
generation
master
of the
Urasenke
Tradition
of
Tea
,
Sen
Soshitsu
Senso
, to
serve
the
Maeda
clan
. This
piece
was
crafted
by
Ohi
Chozaemon
, the
9th
potter
in a
lineage
that has been
associated
with the
Urasenke
Tradition
of
Tea
since
1666
.
It
is
accompanied
by a
paulownia
box
bearing
calligraphy
that
describes
its
provenance
. This
particular
mizusashi
was a
favorite
of the
owner
,
Nakatani
Sokiku
.
