Moon Jar XL Blue by Akiko Hirai
£11,000.00
“ The pots show accumulation. The plates have thick layers of slip, creating big cracks; where it’s thinly applied the cracks are finer, you see more green and you can see things growing. This is accumulation. The Moon Jar is also about many things accumulated, growing… the very quiet ones too. When the accumulation gets too much, it comes off. It’s the natural cycle. It’s circulating. That is Rin-ne Tensho, reincarnation. ”
