Description

Kyoto native Ikai Yūichi has trained 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 Ikai learned the secrets to coaxing subtle hues and fluid effects from the oldest and most rudimentary of all glazes - hai, or ash.

On this magnificent henko (oblong) tsubo jar, variations of pine and cedar ash glaze form demarcated strips of organic tones, subtly diffusing into an earthen bed.  An inspired collage of texture, form, and color.

This piece is large enough to accommodate compositions of long stemmed flowers or branches.  It makes the ideal centerpiece for any Japanese-influenced interior or modern décor.
