tako tsubo katakuchi
Made by Ido Ferber
Small woodfired Katakuchi made during my time at Yuushin Gama, Mashiko.
Thrown on the kick wheel and later formed and decorated by hand. The decorations depict a sun surrounded by palm leaves. A common Middle Eastern theme. The name Tako Tsubo refers to the jars used to catch octopus. These jars are tied in a line and dropped to the ocean floor, giving refuge to the octopus during the night and later hoisted up with the octopus still inside.
This Katakuchi is wood-fired for over 100 hours in the back chamber. Giving it a very calm, natural effect, primarily in red and black. It is wholly unglazed and shows the melting felspar stones common in Shigaraki clays.
