Takimoto Kokyu was born in
Kinosaki-gun, Hyogo, Japan in 1947 and from the
beginning of his pottery career has been interested in the old kilns and
firing processes of Shigaraki and Iga. In fact his Fu-rai
kiln is a huge hole in the ground like those used in these pottery centres
during the Momoyama period (late 16th century). The
items in the exhibition show his interest in researching old glaze recipes,
including a “blue glass” Iga glaze that he is especially fond of. There are 10 items by Kokyu in the Teabowl
Exhibition that begins at the gallery on Sunday 29th January 2006, including
the ones below.
