Yohen-yu Henko 窯変釉扁壺（ようへんゆうへんこ）｜Yasuda Tomohiko 安田友彦（やすだともひこ） This flattened vase by Yasuda Tomohiko is a powerful example of modern Japanese ceramic expression rooted in kiln transformation The entire surface is coated with yohen glaze known for its unpredictable reactions to flame and temperature creating deep tonal variation and subtle metallic nuance Across this atmospheric ground bold iron glaze lines are applied on both sides introducing rhythm tension and deliberate contrast The henko form with its gently compressed body presents a strong sculptural presence allowing the piece to function equally as a flower vase or as a standalone object The balance between chance and control defines this work offering a quiet intensity that resonates in both traditional Japanese spaces and contemporary interiors Estimated period of production 1980–1990 --- Artist Profile Based in Kyoto Primarily works in Kyoyaki ceramics Known for techniques including Rurikusamon Participated in numerous exhibitions Recipient of multiple awards --- Accessories Original wooden box --- Dimensions & Weight Height 20 cm Depth 13.5 cm Width 19 cm Weight 1571 g --- Technique & Condition Material clay Technique ceramic Condition Excellent condition --- Shipping Shipping via Japan Post EMS from Japan.
