By Appointment is best. You might get lucky just popping by, but a great deal of the month I am out visiting artists or scouring up new items, so days in the gallery are limited.

Purple grapes dangle behind broad autumn-tinged leaves decorating this voluminous Tsubo by Hashizume Masahide enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Yubyo-kasai Yamabudo-zu O-tsubo exhibited at the 47th National Traditional Crafts Exhibition. It comes complete with the Exhibition catalog in which it is featured (page 35). It is 35 cm (14 inches) diameter and in perfect condition.
Hashizume Masahide was born in Nagano Prefecture in 1959, and graduated advanced studies at the Tokyo University of Arts in 1985. That same year he was first accepted into the Nihon Dento Kogei Shinsaku-ten Modern New Crafts Exhibition. The following year he entered the studio of Living National Treasure Fujimoto Yoshimichi, where he would stay for 7 years. He would then establish his own kiln in Ome-city in 1993. He takes inspiration from the natural world around his home on the mountainous edge of the Kanto Plain. Since his debut, he has been selected for show with the Nihon Dento Kogeiten National Crafts Exhibition, Asahi Togeiten Ceramics Exhibition, Modern Tea Ceramics Exhibition (Gendai Chato-ten) among others.
