Tokkuri, Shigaraki 信楽灰被徳里

信楽最上の土と言われる黄瀬土を水簸した細かな粘土での鋳込作り。
端正な造形に松灰が降り、緋色の土味に焼成の妙と言うべきビロード状となって蒸栗色の灰釉となって流れ出している。
細かな轆轤目も美しい。

The tokkuri was made from Kinose clay that ranks at the best in Shigaraki clay, levigated smoothly and then poured in the mold. The pine ash was falling on the items in the kiln and the dropping glaze makes a beautiful scene on the red clay. The wheeling marks also are worth looking it.
