Begei-- 美芸 Beautiful Art
Actual name-- Hirata Atsumi-- 平田淳美Born 1939 (Showa 14). In 1958 (Showa 33), he begun the study of ceramics. He taught himself the craft of the potter’s wheel and in 1969 (Showa 44) he began to make unglazed bonsai pots. In 1975(Showa 50), he established his own kiln. Some Begei pots are chuhin, or medium-sized pots, but Begei has an especially high reputation among connoisseurs of shohin bonsai for its shaded shudei (vermilion) shohin pots. (Japanese: 朱泥暈し: shudei bokashi: a vermilion clay that is shaded from light to dark).In recent years, he has made strenuous efforts to add decorative details to his pots, such as sketching pictures, carving see-through designs and carving figures in relief. Such detail work, if not overdone, adds interesting variations to the pots. However, the most tasteful shohin bonsai pots are of course the ones which best promote the main qualities of the tree. With his knowledge of bonsai, Begei continued to create simple but attractive shohin pots. With the closing of his kiln and retirement the bonsai world has lost one of it's most revered potters and ceramic

ReplyDeleteI have developed a section in my own blog with lots of content and many pots for sale. For now I am evaluating author files, but in Spanish, which is my mother tongue, would it be possible to link this website or use the resources and images with the sautores and the stamps?
If they are not yours, would you mind telling me what the original source is? I leave you link to the section of my blog in case you are interested and want to answer me. Perhaps the Spanish-speaking public will find it easier to follow the contents. Thanks for the effort and greetings.

Una entrada magnífica. Gracias por el aporte.
Yo he elaborado una sección en mi blog con gran cantidad de contenido y muchas macetas a la venta. Por ahora estoy valorando hacer fichas de autor, pero en Español, que es mi idioma materno, ¿Seria posible enlazar esta web o utilizar los recursos e imágenes con lo sautores y los sellos?
Si no son suyos, le importaria comentarme cual es la fuente original? Le dejo enlace de la seccion de mi blog por si le interes y quiere contestarme. Quizás el publico hispanoparlante encuentre más facilidad para seguir los contenidos. Gracias por el esfuerzo y un saludo.
