Minamiguchi Kansui 南口閑粋 (b1958) - Skål - Keramik - Kormoranfiskeri

南口閑粋 Minamiguchi Kansui (b1958)
En keramikkkunstner født i Osaka-prefekturet. Fra 1978 studerede han under første generation Miyagawa Koun. I 1985 begyndte han at studere under 16. generation Eiraku Zengoro. I 1989 grundlagde han sin egen kedel og genoplivede ‘Somayama-yaki’, en stil som havde været populær, men var forladt i det, der i dag er Shiga-prefekturet, i slutten af Edo-perioden. Hans værk er kendetegnet ved en levende stil, der inkorporerer traditionelle Kyoto-yaki-teknikker.

南口閑粋 Minamiguchi Kansui (b1958) 杣山焼 Somayama-ware 'Kenzan-stil Cormorant Fishing Bonfire Bamboo Grass Tea Bowl' med Original Box (Tomobako)

The tea bowl by Minamiguchi Kansui, working within the revived Somayama‑yaki tradition, depicts cormorant fishing by bonfire light, the bird, reeds, and rippling water rendered in confident brushwork with gold highlights that catch the surface like sparks; the bamboo grass motif softens the scene with a gentle rhythm, while the interplay of greens, reds, and metallic accents reflects his Kyoto‑yaki training under Miyagawa Kōun and Eiraku Zengorō XVI, and the seal “Kansui” situates the piece firmly within his vivid, Edo‑inspired decorative style, all kept together with its tomobako.
