"Nothingness", "Soundlessnes...Petr,<br /><br />"Nothingness", "Soundlessness", and "Simplicity".<br /><br />Sounds like this bowl truely embodies the mind of zen- even down to its material parts, and production. Even the ash used in this buncheong bowl is of the same materials that colour the grey robes of Korean monks.<br /><br />There is much beauty in simplicity. A beauty that this bowl contains within.<br /><br />Your comments are always much appreciated and offer a valuable look- the opinion of the potter. Thanks so much for your commentary.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-89813540508158723392010-01-24T02:23:08.631-08:002010-01-24T02:23:08.631-08:00Wonderful bowl and perceptive characterization. Bu...Wonderful bowl and perceptive characterization. Buncheong is my favorite Korean style. Actually the glaze itself has a quality I call "nothing special" a it is very "soundless". And I thing it is not only because of the look but also because of the nature of that kind of glazes. Usually the composition of these glazes is very simple. Only feldspar, clay and ash...so the basic parts of nature. But sometimes easiest things are most difficult to achieve. Like here-The Korean buncheog bowls are so simple, that is almost imposible to imitate them.Petr Novákhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11517473309667122386noreply@blogger.com
