Sorry for the slow replies All. It is not the idea to keep ya's in suspense.
I probably should have brought this subject up with better introduction/grace and thanks to Bougy we can have another try.
Here is how Peter introduces these pots and a very beautiful example
Melatonin goodbye, the spring comes, and with him the joy of life.
LISTEN, THE NIGHTINGALE
IN THE BLOSSOMS, AND THE FROG,
CROAKING IN THE WATER –
DOES NOT EACH OF THEM SING ITS SONG,
LIKE THE POET DOES HIS POEM?
... and the painter does his painting, the potter his jug? Like this, one could continue the spring poem of an unknown japanese artist. For sensible people spring is not only a feast for the eyes in the flowing world of creation and decay. It is fireworks for all senses, the great symbol of creation.
Shunga, which are also called spring pictures, are one facette of japanese art. They have the same power and mysterious magic as tea ceremony, the art of gardens and poems (Haiku, Tanka) for example and they are still highly appreciated in modern Japan. Spring pictures often have a double meaning. They are erotic illustrations that, in combination with the great adoration of nature, show an exhilarated lightness.
Often little erotic books were made from Shunga that men put discreetly beneath the pillow of their adored ones but they were also used as illustrations of various novels and plays.
Some scenes contain elements of caricature. The pleasures of love are universal and around the planet artists have pictured them freely, in which way ever, veiled or unveiled.
I had seen some pots of Peter's before but along with these pots I realised he is doing some amazing work.
