New at Artistic Nippon -- Seigan Blue Hagi-yaki!
A few other new Hagi pieces as well.

http://stores.ebay.com/MAGOKORODO remains the best source for Seigan's other diverse works, for now. Brent and I both won great items here but bidding and losing a few times is still kind of a bummer.
Happy hunting Hagi fans!

1. That is an excellent song. Sufjan Steven's crazy huge Songs for Christmas opus gets some heavy holiday play...despite my slight annoyance with his style.chamekke wrote:Get thee behind me, Santa.
2. It makes me think of this.
This Seigan ware posting is slowly wearing me down.
That is one lovely kyusu.

I had no idea it was a song! I was just making wordplay on the "Get thee behind me, Satan" (Retro me, Sathanas) phrase.Mary R wrote:1. That is an excellent song.

If you're not familiar with Hagi kyusu be careful; the size of the holes in the built-in filter tend to be quite large compared to metal mesh filters and normal sasame filters. With small leaf sencha you may end up with much more leaf in the cup than you want.Cinnamon Kitty wrote:Thank you for making my jaw drop in awe after seeing the kyusu. Now I am incredibly tempted and have to keep telling myself that I don't need it.
