Tōkaiseki Vase
Shirotae.
Shirotae is a Mount Fuji cherry blossom tree, the word also means 'white cloth'.
Tōkaiseki is a technique of Matsuzaki’s own invention, these sculptural works are not thrown but hewn, carved and torn from hollowed blocks of clay on a potter’s wheel using a variety of tools – from knives and wooden scrapers to wire, fingers, thumbs and even fistfuls of clay itself. Developed over many years, these forms now represent a distillation of Matsuzaki’s enigmatic, tour-de-force approach to his medium.
Accompanied by a signed, made to measure box
