Tokuri, Imbe 伊部緋襷徳久利

優しく引き上げられた丸みの胴、女性を思わせる華奢でなでるような肩、細い首、緩く開く口造り。

ふわりと包むような緋襷は、柔らかな肌に纏う薄い衣のよう。

豊饒な豊かさを感じる、ゆったりとした姿は、どこか神秘的でもある。

京都時代に好んで作っていた施釉の徳利の大らかでふっくら優しい雰囲気を、備前土で表現するにあたり、柔らかく明るい緋襷で焼き上げたのかもしれない。

It reminds of a female figure with belly, slender round shoulder, delicate neck witch gradually widens towards top.
Hidasuki, the red kiln change, is like a robe on her delicate skin, which has somehow mysterious atmosphere.

The work maybe rooted from glazed tokuri with soft atmosphere he had often made in his Kyoto period, and he may have tried with Bizen clay to produce soft atmosphere with bright Hidasuki.
