Bringing elements of nature to the forefront is central to Japanese aesthetics, and this is beautifully exemplified in this flower vase by the celebrated monk and potter Sugimoto Sadamitsu. His mastery lies in highlighting the organic qualities of wood-ash glazing and the warm, earthy tones of orange and ochre in his wood-fired works. By harmonizing fire, clay, and wood, Sugimoto creates pieces that celebrate imperfection as a form of beauty, embodying the essence of wabi-sabi.

Kato Takuo, a celebrated artist and a designated Living National Treasure, was renowned for his exquisite larger works for display. However, he also embraced the beauty of everyday objects, creating stunning, functional pieces like these plates that blend art and utility seamlessly.
