Modern Japanese Ceramics
sold, thank you The fire is still alive on this striking Shigaraki Tsubo by Furutani Taketoshi enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Shigaraki Shizen-yu Yohen Tsubo.

Kiln effects are what this family is known for, and this does not disappoint...

Modern Japanese Ceramics
sold, thank you A masterpiece by Furutani Taketoshi enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Shigaraki Shizen-yu Shinogi Tsubo.
