Seiji Shinogi-Bori Hasu Take Zutsukoro (青磁鎬彫蓮竹筒大香炉)
This is a Celadon incense burner which Ogushi-san has created.
Preserving the Nabeshima-yaki tradition, he uses the special glaze made from smashed celadon stones, which is yellowish "gemstone" mined at the Mt. Okawachi.
It turns to the clear color like the Japanese Hisui, jade green.
Height : 10.7 cm
Diameter : 12.0 cm
The ore collected from Mt. Okawachi is used for making original celadon of Oshu-gama. High quality works have been produced by them.
