Re: Coming soon! Hagi SO 13 "Tempest"
All indications are ... everything is a go for Hagi SO 13 "Tempest" despite the shipping restrictions from Japan to the USA.

Re: Coming soon! Hagi SO 13 "Tempest"
OK, I heard a black and white answer from Mago. He is contracted with the Japan Post and will be able to ship packages that were to be restricted under the new guideline.
Soooo, happy days are here again!
Keep checking this topic for updates on this SO.

Re: Coming soon! Hagi SO 13 "Tempest"
That's a relief. Delaying it indefinitely would have been unfortunate. And all you US TeaChatters not being able to participate would have been sad.
OK, in celebration of this you'll give us some preview pics, right?
They can be tiny, fragmented and blurry for all I care!

OK, slight change, I will post the preview here in this topic at 5:45 pm.
The new official topic will open right at 6 pm as originally planned. I go by the atomic clock, not TC time.

That's midnight here in Norway. I missed the asa/fuka OTTI in exchange for a good night's sleep, let's see if I can manage to stay awake this time...Chip wrote:OK, slight change, I will post the preview here in this topic at 5:45 pm.

Re: Coming soon! Hagi SO 13 "Tempest"
As promised, a preview at 5:45 pm Eastern Time.
SO 13 "Tempest." In all there are 20 pieces.
Remember, this goes live on Wednesday November 17th at 6PM Eastern USA timezone in a NEW STICKIED TOPIC titled NEW!!! HAGI SO 13 "Tempest". Please PM your choices to me at that time. PM any questions to me anytime however.
I think this SO 13 is a real beauty, yet stormy. Have you ever watched a storm approaching and thought it was beautiful? I find this to be an extreme Hagi SO. Also a very limited run of 20 pieces total.
The basics ...
The artisan is Yamane Seigan who is able to offer such diversity to our Hagi SO program.
This is the same SO custom shape of SO 8, but proportionately larger, 3.5 - 3.75" wide. I love this shape! I think it will hold about 4 ounces.
It also has a choice of two different foot options, the same foot (kuodai) of SO 8 or the notched foot Wari Kuodai), either is very complimentary to this piece.
Here is my photobucket with all the photos. http://s285.photobucket.com/albums/ll60 ... O%2013%20/
And Wari Kuodai
Remember, there are ONLY 5 (actually 4, heh ... so do not choose #5 ) of these Wari Kuodai "Tempests." Unfortunately, not everyone who wants a Wari Kuodai version will get one. So INCLUDE NON WARI KUODAI OPTIONS AS WELL!!!
As always, "winners" are picked on a first come, first served basis. This is why many alternate choices is advantageous.
The clay is super oni hagi, verrrry rough, very extreme. This adds to the unique beauty of this SO. Wabi to the extreme, Sabi certainly to come.
And the glaze is extreme Sansai and the extreme Oni Hagi (super rough sand/clay) definitely accentuates this.
The results are awesome! Don't you think? I have seen a fair number of sansai, but nothing like these! I cannot wait to get one in my hands!
Cost. TC Hagi SO per piece cost is 50 USD for each for the 15 more traditional footed pieces. And 55 USD each for the 5 notched footed pieces.
Shipping will be EMS (express) or the budget airmail SAL. I am recommending EMS. Figure low 20's for EMS and half or less that for SAL for most Western destinations.
WHEN ORDERING, PLEASE BE SURE TO STATE THE ITEM NUMBER FROM THE PHOTO WHICH WILL TELL ME WHICH FOOT YOU WANT. There are two different each of #1-5!!!
Remember, this goes live on Wednesday November 17th at 6PM Eastern USA timezone. Please PM your choices to me at that time. Send at least 3 selections. If you want more than one, send at least 5 selections. I will make sure members get one before anyone gets a second.
As always, I would like confirmation of the following with your PM. Mago requires this step which is a pretty good idea ...
Your choices in order of preference/quantity wanted
User name
Full name
Shipping address
Shipping method
paypal email address
Special instructions
I hope you enjoy this Hagi SO!
