| This large hanaire (vase) was made by Unokawa Kazumasa. It is a more personal work from the Tenmoku master craftsman. The mineral and organic qualities of the vase give it a powerful aura. In ancient Japan, people thought every thing had a spirit and was respected as such. This piece, which could also have been found along the old path to a sacred shrine, seems to possess a holy life of its own, and here again, we have evidence of the cosmic link between this potter and his work. 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 vase 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).
