A Colored "Hakeme" vase by Tomoko Sakai.
This work is created through the artist’s distinctive technique of layering white clay with a brush, not simply painting it onto the surface, but gently building it up to create depth and texture.
In this piece, color is added to the richly textured Hakeme surface, highlighting the interplay between the natural character of the clay and the layered tones. A deep, glossy dark brown glaze covers the upper section, creating a striking contrast with the ochre-colored layer beneath and the rustic, earthy surface of the lower body.
The distinctive silhouette expands dramatically upward from a narrow base, balancing strength with softness. The contrasting textures and layers of color give the piece a compelling sculptural presence.
No two works share exactly the same brushwork or expression of color. The harmony between the rustic beauty of the clay and the bold use of color gives this vase its unique character.
