Japanese-made pottery
The title is Haiyu Tsubo (灰釉壺).
This is a jar created by Itoi Yasuhiro.
He makes the work with ash glaze which is made from natural wood ashes.
The glaze was dripping thickly and it becomes a good scene.
Height : 25.5 cm
Diameter : 16 cm
He uses the special plant-blended ash that has been researched for glaze. Having lived in Nara prefectures for over 20 years, he has much feeling that artworks are exclusively for the place here.
