| This splendid hanaire (vase) was made by a potter named Unokawa Kazumasa, a master craftsman of Tenmoku pottery, one of the most difficult to make. This particular piece is a more personal work by the potter, who likes to delve into less rigorous creative fields than the domain of Tenmoku ware. Yet here, too, the astral connection to the work of the artist is reflected in this original moon shaped vase. Unokawa Kazumasa was born in Nara in 1952, not far from Kyoto. He never had a mentor and let “the clay, the kiln, the fire and nature be his teachers”. As a true artist, he allows the clay to express itself through him and engages it in a creative dialogue from which are born heavenly gems. Unokawa Kazumasa says: “There are various faces and personalities in pottery, which I see. They reveal themselves to me as I carefully come face-to-face with them.” Unokawa-sensei regularly holds exhibitions in Osaka and Nara, among other Japanese cities. And he was even made an honorary citizen of Santa Cruz, after an exposition there, in 1988. The hanaire is signed, in perfect condition and will be shipped in a signed wooden box (please allow for a few weeks for the box to be made and signed).
