A profusion of color descends the granulated surface of the melted form by Maruta Munehiko enclosed in the original signed wooden box titled Chosen Karatsu Tsubo. The grandiose embellishment of color creates a sublime sense of tension between the dark glazed and color infusion. The shape is hammered and beaten by the flame from the extreme heat . Although very much in the Chosen Karatsu tradition, the execution is unequivocally contemporary.
