The "Colored Burnt Pot" by contemporary ceramic artist Tomoko Sakai is a unique work created by applying color to the clay body and intentionally firing it without a glaze layer. This "Colored Burnt" technique is a new challenge the artist has taken on in recent years, making it a valuable piece that we are specially handling at Rurbanism.
The expressions created by this unique technique possess a certain simplicity behind the vibrant colors, evoking a one-of-a-kind charm. When filled with vibrant, life-filled plants, the strength of the colors and the dry texture unique to burnt pottery create a beautiful contrast, further enhancing the presence of the piece as an artwork.
Rurbanism will continue to introduce a variety of works by Tomoko Sakai, including vases and plant pots.
Tomoko Sakai
Born in 1970 in Kagawa Prefecture. She studied under Naruyoshi Morioka in Wakayama Prefecture and built a climbing kiln in Kagawa Prefecture. After creating pottery in Suzaka City, Nagano Prefecture, she has now established a kiln once again in Kagawa Prefecture.
The vases created, primarily from burnt pottery and white porcelain, embody a gentleness within their strength and elegance, adding a dignified presence and warm comfort to daily life.
