Shuei Tomonaga |
|
|
Shuei Tomonaga is a potter of Hagi-yaki, which is
regarded as the highest prized of teaware next to Raku in Japan. I am told by
my contact that Tomonaga is a soft-spoken rather shy man, who works out of
Hagi's Seishu kiln. His work reflects his character and may at first seem
rather dull when compared to other work. However, I find that I have been
drawn in by the simplicity of his bowls and the longer I have had them the
more I have come to appreciate their understated qualities. Work
by Tomonaga was included in the Harlequin Gallery “Teabowl” exhibition during
March 2005. As you will see most of the items below are sold but it is
planned to add images of a few more items shortly. |
