A pentagonal stoneware vase by Taro Kamoda (b. 1963). The surface is finished in a deep iron-black glaze, contrasted with vivid blue inlaid motifs that create a rhythmic, sculptural presence. The slightly irregular hand-formed edges and faceted body emphasize its architectural structure and contemporary expression. Signed and accompanied by the original wooden box (tomobako). Artist Profile Taro Kamoda (加守田太郎, b. 1963) is a Japanese ceramic artist known for his hand-built forms and expressive glaze application. Working within a contemporary interpretation of traditional Mingei philosophy, he combines bold structure with painterly surface techniques, often using brush-applied glazes and inlay decoration to create dynamic visual contrast.
