Ikai Yuichi's approach to pottery making is to intervene as little as possible between nature and the work itself.  Any sort of mechanization to his craft is minimized in every step of the creative process: ash glazes (haiyu) are additive free, clays are grainy and unprocessed, and forming tools are often just his bare hands and the end of a tree branch.  Imperfection and asymmetry are emphasized over mechanical precision or any contrived embellishments.  As a result, each piece is imbued with an organic quality which resonates with Zen aestheticism.

This ash glazed (haiyu) sake cup is just such a piece.
