Ryuji Iwasaki | Kan-Nagashi Vase

New vases by contemporary ceramic artist Ryuji Iwasaki will be available on the Rurbanism online store from Friday, July 17 at 6:00 PM (JST).

Developed through Iwasaki’s relentless exploration of color, Kan-Nagashi is his signature glazing technique.

Layer upon layer of flowing glaze creates remarkable depth, subtle tonal variation, and delicate movement.

Blue-grey and ice green hues evoke a quiet landscape, as if time itself has been captured within the surface—each piece revealing a scene that can never be repeated.

Created as vessels for flowers, these works also stand alone as sculptural objects, bringing a quiet presence to any space.

A vase, even without flowers.

Bringing art into everyday life.

Giving form to empty space.
