About the Artwork
This bowl maximizes the expression of scarlet hues produced by the natural iron content in Daido clay.
The wave-like undulations on the surface evoke the swelling of the sea, revealing a refined "landscape" unlike anything seen before.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece where the elements of chance and intention merged through kiln transformation.

Techniques Used
Hagi ware
Hagi ware is a type of pottery predominantly made around the cities of Hagi, Nagato, and Yamaguchi in Yamaguchi prefecture. Vessels are made with Daido clay, Mitake clay, and Mishima clay. The resulting stoneware is rarely decorated with motifs, as the texture and qualities of the clay are key points of visual interest that appeal to tea ceremony practitioners.
