A small universe that fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"78\" data-end=\"210\"\u003e This work is a unique piece by Matsukawa Kazuhiro, combining \u003cstrong data-start=\"100\" data-end=\"111\"\u003ethe tranquility of pale blue porcelain\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong data-start=\"112\" data-end=\"121\"\u003ethe touch of silver coloring\u003c\/strong\u003e in a round, spherical shape. The ridge where the lid and body meet appears like a \"horizon\" going around the center of the sphere, giving the impression of a layer of air hidden within, even when the vessel is closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"3g0i0z\" data-start=\"212\" data-end=\"243\"\u003e I. The Maru-goko Form: \"A vessel that protects\" and \"A vessel that creates space\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"244\" data-end=\"467\"\u003eA gosu is \u003cstrong data-start=\"299\" data-end=\"314\"\u003ea vessel with an inner world that\u003c\/strong\u003e has been used as an incense container for \u003cstrong data-start=\"262\" data-end=\"268\"\u003eincense\u003c\/strong\u003e , kneaded incense, and pieces of fragrant wood, or as a small sweet dish or lidded container at tea ceremonies. The act of opening and closing it instantly changes the tempo of the space, regulating the guest's gaze and breathing.\u003cbr data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"354\"\u003e Because this round bowl has no corners, your gaze is not drawn to any particular spot, and the moment you pick it up, your consciousness returns to the \"center.\" The roundness when you pick it up, the feeling of your fingertips exploring as you turn the lid -- all of these elements naturally create the \"space\" that is so highly valued in the tea ceremony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1jwz8q8\" data-start=\"469\" data-end=\"499\"\u003e II. The expression of Ginsai: \"sinking\" the light rather than \"reflecting\" it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"500\" data-end=\"714\"\u003eThe outside is enveloped in \u003cstrong data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"523\"\u003ethe soft metallic light\u003c\/strong\u003e that is unique to Ginsai. However, it does not shine as brightly as a mirror, and as you can see in the photo, the silver surface is not uniform, but has \u003cstrong data-start=\"572\" data-end=\"590\"\u003ea faded, hazy, and blurred appearance\u003c\/strong\u003e .\u003cbr data-start=\"598\" data-end=\"601\"\u003e This expression does not make the vessel overly assertive, but rather absorbs the light and then gently lets it sink in. Rather than being a decoration for \"gaiety,\" the silver glaze seems to function as a thin armor that gives the vessel dignity while maintaining serenity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1vbpu3q\" data-start=\"716\" data-end=\"745\"\u003e III. The inside of pale blue porcelain: Where the clear light blue color fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"979\"\u003eRemoving the lid reveals \u003cstrong data-start=\"756\" data-end=\"768\"\u003ethe pale blue-and-white porcelain glaze\u003c\/strong\u003e on the inside. Blue-and-white porcelain is less cold than white and less assertive than blue - its appeal lies in its clarity somewhere in between. This piece in particular creates \u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"849\"\u003ea tranquil reflection like the surface of water\u003c\/strong\u003e when light falls on the vessel.\u003cbr data-start=\"856\" data-end=\"859\"\u003e Furthermore, around the periphery, there are faint traces of scarlet, and in the stillness of the pale blue, there is a soft hint of fire and earth passing through. By not being completely colorless, but by incorporating a slight \"warmth,\" the vessel is not abstract, but rather truly alive as pottery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"4522cm\" data-start=\"981\" data-end=\"1007\"\u003e IV. The Wonders of Form: \"Spheres,\" \"Lines,\" and \"Centers of Gravity\"\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1008\" data-end=\"1179\"\u003eA sphere is a tricky shape as even the slightest distortion can easily ruin the impression, but this piece \u003cstrong data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003ehas a firm roundness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a very neat \u003cstrong data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003eline where the lid meets\u003c\/strong\u003e .\u003cbr data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1077\"\u003e A small platform is provided at the bottom, so that the sphere does not float in the air, but rather \u003cstrong data-start=\"1105\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003eits center of gravity settles at a single point\u003c\/strong\u003e . The tension that makes it seem as though it might roll around in the palm of your hand but doesn't is comfortable, and it combines stability as a tool with the poetry of its design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"yn653t\" data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003e V.

Another appealing feature is that it can be used all year round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"4md20e\" data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1441\"\u003e Ⅵ Key Points for Handling (Ginsai)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-start=\"1442\" data-end=\"1576\"\u003eThe appearance of the silver glaze may change if rubbed or polished too hard. \u003cstrong data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1494\"\u003eAvoid using hard sponges or abrasive cleaners\u003c\/strong\u003e , and wipe gently with a soft cloth. We recommend storing the item in a place with low humidity. (Silver glaze may develop a more subdued appearance over time, and enjoying this change itself is one of the charms of silver glaze.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"1578\"
