Re: Ode to the Kyusu
Early Satsuma yaki used a different clay at the time .. probably a 19th century kyusu, as the many available in Japanese domestic market.
Ps. The glaze is really nice!

Thanks William for your input and expertise!
Yes, I really like the glaze, the colors are simple with white on a black/brown background, at the same time the patterns are beautiful ranging from wavelike shapes to snow-flakes in the back. It brews pretty good tea as well

Here are a few Junzo Maekawa pots, all made from the famous kobiwako clay. One is mine, one is a shop pot, and the other two belong to clients.

Nice kyusus if you have time take a picture of yours before you start using and after a few months - I am curious to see how it develops!blairswhitaker wrote:Here are a few Junzo Maekawa pots, all made from the famous kobiwako clay.
