Item Description: This is an exceptional Bizen-yaki (備前焼) ceramic flower vase handcrafted by Japanese artist Hiroyuki Togawa (戸川博之). The piece displays a bold and contemporary sculptural form, featuring a triangular cut-out opening and dynamic asymmetry that evokes both movement and balance. The surface reveals rich natural earth tones—from deep reddish-brown to sandy beige—highlighted by the characteristic speckled texture of Bizen ware, achieved through wood-fired kiln firing without the use of glaze. The raw surface finish and natural ash deposits give the work a warm, organic feel. This vase comes with its original signed wooden tomobako (storage box) and documentation, making it a valuable piece for collectors of modern Japanese ceramics.
