Oni-Hagi Chawan by Shibuya Deishi
I have one on his Oni-Hagi Winter Tea Bowls
It is one of my favorites, with a similar straw-ash glaze
Shibuya Deishi is one of the “elder statesmen” of the Hagi pottery tradition, being the Chairman of the Hagi Traditional Industrial (Handicrafts) Association for the last 20 years.
It is thought that the Oni–Hagi style is a representation of cherry trees in blossom and, although demons are thought of as something evil in the West, they are looked on as a useful ally to have in Japan, hence the name Oni.
Deishi, who works in Hagi City, throws all of chawan and yunomis using a Korean style kick wheel and these are then fired in his traditional wood-fired climbing kiln for many days. He have won many prizes for his work over the years, including the International Art Culture award in 1984 and continues to produce work to the high standard that he has set himself to this day.
