Sakata Jinnai 坂田 甚内 (b. 1943) showcases blackened firing marks in this piece, which recalls his “Fetal Movement” series from 1993, as well as evoking the Japanese painter Tani Buncho's 谷文晁 dragon scroll paintings from the Edo period (circa 19th C). The surface patterning showcases an innovative take on Jomon-era earthenware patterning, while utilizing kiln firing marks to recall classical scroll-based associations with clouds, water, rain.
