White glaze parts like melting snow on the dark surface of boulders in the early spring on this lidded box by Miwa Kazuhiko enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Shiro-hagi no Shi (A poem in White Hagi).  The scene (keshiki) of the piece does evoke poetic feelings, bringing one out into the fields of the mountainous karst around the Hagi area, standing alone in a field dotted with stone and blanketed in snow, the natural textures of the earth revealing themselves in small patches and shadows.

Kazuhiko likely needs no introduction.  Born into the family of living National Treasure Miwa Kyusettsu, he was not only heavily influenced by his father, but by his 5 years at the San Francisco Art Institute where he was able to acquire a novel eye in his approach toward the traditional Hagi style.  He has a list of exhibitions much too long to state here, both inside and outside Japan.
