Aesthetics

Worked in unglazed clay (deimono) with a banded base, this rectangular pot wears the earthen, sandy texture long favored for pines and other evergreens. Its neutral brown tones step back so the tree leads, while a vintage patina — and the small chips of honest use — lend the depth only years can bring. A quiet, grounded vessel made in the classic Mino manner.

“Earth, weathered into character.”

The Artist & Heritage

光峰

The Koho kiln was founded in Ichinokura, Tajimi — the heartland of Mino ware — by the late master Ichinokura Sekishu.

FoundationsSekishu (real name Motoo Mizuguchi) established the kiln in 1956 and turned to bonsai vessels around 1970, working under two names: Koho for his standard line and Ichinokura Sekishu for his most elaborate pieces.

ProvenanceSekishu passed away in 2006, and pots from his own hand are finite. The kiln itself carries on under the Mizuguchi name and is still working today, now best known for its sake vessels. This vessel carries the Koho seal.
