With its artistic colors and bold use of glazes,
it\'s as if this work comes from another dimension, another world.
This artistic expression uses glazes in a variety of ways.
These are based on traditional Japanese glazing and firing methods.
The artistic finish gives off a passionate impression that conveys a message.
Some pieces resemble meteorites, and their appearance changes completely depending on the angle from which they are displayed.
It\'s a work that you never tire of looking at.
His works of this scale are rare.
Toru Ichikawa
He studied Bizen ware, a traditional technique dating back to medieval Japan, but his work goes far beyond traditional techniques.
He describes this as a \"cry for freedom.\"
In an interview, he said, \"I just wanted to be free. I felt overly bound by social influences such as my living environment and social structure, and I was always seeking freedom.\" This desire likely led him to break away from a style that adhered to form and tradition, and to explore creative methods and expressions that no one had ever attempted before.
However, he values universal truth over self-absorbed freedom. \"Wood burns and becomes fire, the fire becomes ash, the ash becomes earth and returns to the earth. That\'s the cycle. We live within this cycle. There is a universal process, a universal truth, and I follow it. While I have a rebellious spirit against society, I believe I am actually following universal truth.\"
My works reflect the ancient Eastern five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water).
They have been carefully stored and are in like-new condition.
Of course, there are no cracks or chips.
*Cracks are expressed as a design on the bottom, etc.
They will not leak even if you fill them with water.
