Kyoto native Ikai Yuichi received training under the late Shimizu Uichi (1926-2004) who, in 1985, was awarded the title of Living National Treasure for his outstanding work in ceramic making.  And it is from his sensei that Mr. Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.

This inspired vase is formed to resemble a section of bamboo.  It is done in an ash glaze (haiyu-sai) of pine and rice straw which has vitrified into a lovely cascade of amber streams down the sides.  Tall enough to accommodate arrangements with long-stemmed flowers, it makes an attractive accessory for any Japanese-inspired interior.

See Ikai Yuichi's Takashimaya Gallery exhibition for more works from his 2009 collection.

A wooden presentation box will be custom made to order and signed by the artist.  Delivery time for this item is 2 weeks.
