So happy to meet with Shigeko Ichino san, the legendary and extremely welcoming 8th generation owner of Tansho gama. Her late husband, the 7th generation Shigeyoshi san mixed the technique of traditional Tamba ware with the slipware technique where he learnt during the time spent with Bernard Leach in England, and then she carried it on after he passed away.
Shigeko san’s work is just like her in person, delicate & sublime, yet it warms your heart when you hold the pieces in hand.
