注脚
Now one of the best-known of all contemporary Japanese ceramists, Tsujimura Shiro has taken inspiration from several old kilns but Iga in Mie Prefecture -an ash-glazed, high-fired stoneware first used for formal tea drinking around 1600 -is among his favorites. The title of this important mid-career sculptural work references Yaburebukuro ("Burst Bag"), an early Iga piece, designated an Important Cultural Property, with a drastically distorted form and a large gash on its front.
