There are pieces whose skins resemble
the parched desert floor and egg-shaped
forms which seem at once serene and sinister...

Koyanagi, Atsuko (ed.). "CERAMIC ART: 7 INDIVIDUALS"

Kyoto: Kyoto Shoin International, 1990. Hardcover.  9"x12", 46 pages,
color illustrations. [13399] $65.00

A beautiful pictorial survey of recent work by seven Japanese artist
potters who work in an avante-garde rather than traditional style. There
are pieces whose skins resemble the parched desert floor, Picasso-like
figurals, teapots seemingly made from household debris, 20th century
shapes reminiscent of ancient bones only partially excavated from the
earth, and egg-shaped forms which seem at once serene and sinister. The
photography is spectacular.
