Fuji rain clouds theme,was created in origin by Kohetsu Honami (1558 - 1637), great ancestors of Raku-yaki. He started making Raku assisted by Johkei and Nonkoh, part of the Raku family. His works are known for their spontaneity characterized by free thinking and uniqueness of form. These chawan today made by Hideki evokes me as i am gazing upon a great rocky cliff or in the middle of the Rain forest. A sublime sense of myst that it gives a dynamic character to my way to drink. The surface covered by black glaze rough like ancient sandstone is quitecommon made from the rare and precious stone, found only in the KAMOGAWA Kyoto River. Some of these works may remind "Amagumo" some "Murakumo" some "Sichiri" or "Shigure" even thee all with a deliberate irregularity around the mouth and the area of the body to show the red clay texture underneathm and they seems so closed to Koetsu, is important to know: All of these are representative of Kôetsu's tea bowls in some way, but Hideki made his ow vew not related to utsushi. view them as an extension line.
