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.

A mysterious carved cylinder of beautifully textured Shigaraki clay displaying HI-iro flame colors, light charring and a light dusting of flying pine ash by Fujimoto Hide enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Shigaraki Tagui Enchu (Round Pilar). 13.5 cm (5-1/2 inches) diameter, 16 cm (6-1/4 inches) tall and in perfect condition, directly from the artist.
Fujimoto Hide was born in the heart of Shigaraki in 1954, and was fascinated with the medium from a very young age. He worked in several potteries and industrial positions for a decade from 1973, always furthering his understanding of firing technique and glazes, followed by a decade of firing and sculpting, culminating in establishing his own kiln in the forests of Shigaraki in 1995. His work has been picked up by many of Japan’s preeminent galleries including several private exhibitions with Kuroda Toen in Ginza, the Togei no Mori Museum in Shiga, and just recently an exhibition in Taiwan.
