About This Pipe

With this comforting composition, Hiroyuki Tokutomi moves "Back to the Future" by creating a freehand dublin sitter that could have been plucked from his body of work three years ago. The rim features a poignant use of plateau and holds a fair degree of symmetry, until the drop into implied space on the right. That drop pulls the eye onto an abbreviated panel and, from there, a heavenly straight grain appears to the eyes. Tokutomi balances the fore-to-aft oval of the rim with a slightly oblique, side-to-side oval of the mount, and again plateau is repeated. Pure, classic, "Toku".
