Ceramic artist Katsunori Sawa is dedicated to clay and his works are often striking and expressive. This flower vase unveils the power of clay and fire that is unique to Shigaraki ware. It is characterized by its unglazed “yakishime” style and rough texture of clay. No one piece is the same as the other, as the way it is shaped and fired results in a wide variety of works. One may notice the translucent blue-green color of the natural glaze, which was formed by the melting ash that falls in the kiln. It then becomes glassy and the rapid cooling process contributes to the beautiful shades of color that sparkle.
