Building on his family's 360-year history of producing Hagi ware, Masahiro’s formative study of sculpture has steered him towards creating sculptural art pieces. This flower vase was sculpted with a raw, rugged appearance, reminiscent of fallen wood found in the mountains. He achieved this look by roughly tapping and tearing the clay surface, and shaping it with firewood to create vertical lines resembling wood grain. It embodies Masahiro’s dedication to expressing the various intriguing characteristics of Hagi clay. His profound attention to nature and creativity truly shines through in his creation.
