Michikazu Sakai / Mimosa Glazed Plant Pot D

Diameter (φ) 110mm × Height (h) 90mm Opening diameter 110mm

A beautiful flower pot made of mimosa ash glaze by contemporary ceramic artist Michikazu Sakai.

The soft milky white vessel, made using ash from the mimosa tree as glaze, exudes a gentle atmosphere. The mimosa ash glaze is a unique expression created by Michikazu Sakai, with the natural ash providing an unevenness that gives each piece a different depth and charm.

This flower pot, made with Oribe glaze and mimosa ash glaze, is a valuable piece specially created by Sakai for Rurbanism. His flower pot works are rarely exhibited in solo shows, and opportunities to appear on the market are extremely limited, making them highly rare pieces.

Rurbanism will continue to introduce a variety of works, including flower pots by Michikazu Sakai.

Michikazu Sakai

Born in 1975 in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture. He apprenticed under Bizen pottery artist Satoru Masamune and built a climbing kiln in his hometown in 1997. He is currently based in Kagawa Prefecture and continues to create pottery.

The works born from the wood-fired kiln display a rich variety, including the plump expressions of Oribe and Hakuji, as well as unique glazes using mimosa ash. The flower vases reflect the power of earth and fire, adding depth and a quiet presence to the space when flowers are arranged in them.

The flower vases, imbued with the blessings of nature, add a soft warmth to daily life and gently nourish the hearts of those who spend their days with flowers.
