Haikaburi, or "ash covered", is a firing technique where pots are put in and around the stoking area of the kiln.  As more wood is thrown in and burned, ash builds up around the piece, fusing with the clay and forming a myriad of textures and colors.  Pots that manage to survive this grueling process (the failure rate is well over 70 percent) exhibit a raw energy rarely found in other types of ceramics.

These striking green tea cups by Hiroaki Wada are glazed in a light kohiki ash slip and wood-fired at Oizumi-gama.  They were born from the kiln imbued with both the pastel softness of kohiki and the unrefined roughness of haikaburi.  The duality in their character lends them an energy that is eternal.

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

See Hiroaki Wada & Tozan Wada's Daimaru Gallery Exhibition pictorial for works from their 2006 collection.
