More pots in the showroom. In the foreground are 2 yunomi (tea cups) by
Mashiko potter (by way of Minnesota) and good friend, Lee Love. Here,
you can see his utilization of the Zogan (inlay) technique in homage to
his sensei (teacher,) Shimaoka Tatsuzo. Mr. Shimaoka was designated a
National Living Treasure in Japan for his technique of Jomon Zogan
(rope-impressed inlay,) inspired by the braids his father made as a
braid craftsman, several years after his (Shimaoka-sensei's) own
apprenticeship under another well-known (Ningen Kokuho) National Living
Treasure, Hamada Shoji.
