A hand-built Yakishime vase by Akihiro Nikaido.
The unglazed surface reveals the natural color and texture of the clay itself. Subtle irregularities and traces of the artist’s hands create a richly textured appearance reminiscent of weathered stone and objects shaped by the passage of time.
Expanding dramatically from a narrow base, the distinctive silhouette balances strength and delicacy. The gentle irregularities of the hand-built form emphasize its organic, sculptural beauty.
Despite its substantial appearance, the piece possesses an unexpected sense of lightness. Its character transforms when arranged with flowers, yet even on its own, it stands as a compelling sculptural object.
