Welcome to the HagiClub, blairswhitaker. Now you need the Kashun Kyusu! I have been eying that combo for a while!

Those are great multi purpose size wans. Great first buy!

Yes you do ... I was thinking of you as well when I posted. In fact, Toru pictures this the Kyusu with this Yunomi/wan ...

Wow Everyone is jumping on the Kashun Bandwagon.... Personally I feel he does great work, and everyones pieces really seem to confirm that. (Not that the other hagi artists do bad work... he just seems to have a bit more wow power).

I bet that textured surface feels really good in your hands.

Very nice buy blairswhitaker. I don't own any Kashun hagi yet but I love his yunomi's. They seem to have so much character and different in design from others. Lately I've been saying "NO" to hagi and its so hard but my budgets crying already. Thats why I try to avoid this topic now

IPT - Victoria,
thanks for the comments - it is nice to know you enjoyed seeing these pieces. in this part of the country no flowers growing in the frozen ground so i try to work with what i have but tea during those months is so appreciated.

Very cool vase! And cup too ... is that Hagi? It has almost a Shino effect going on? Yeah, looks more like Hagi than Shino.

I love the use of twigs. I think it looks fantastic. I sometimes do it myself. I was trying to be funny, but probably failed. I usually do. Is the ground near you still frozen? It's 90 degrees here and humid.

I miss winter!!!!!!

IPT - your humor is fine, i was just trying to justify my choice to live in a city colder than siberia. we did have a nice spring, so all is well again.
and chip - you're correct. the yunomi also is hagiyaki, both purchased on a visit to hagi.
