Heritage / Story
Created by artisan Minoru, this vase reflects the longstanding Kyoto tradition of celebrating nature through ceramic art.
One of its most distinctive features is the delicate kannyū (crackle pattern) visible within the glaze. These fine lines are intentionally created through differences in contraction between clay and glaze during firing. Far from being flaws, they are treasured as part of the ceramic's character, adding depth and visual richness to the surface.
Combined with the carved seasonal motifs and luminous celadon glaze, the vase embodies the Japanese appreciation for subtle beauty and the passage of time.
