While maintaining the cleanliness of white porcelain at its core, a subtle blue hue emerges softly when light hits it, and returns to a milky white in the shade.\u003cbr data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"405\"\u003e This fluctuation is the most beautiful expression of pale blue porcelain. It is hard yet not too cold, and breathable within its stillness - here we see the clear \"emptiness\" that is characteristic of Matsukawa's pale blue porcelain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"482\" data-end=\"485\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"lsbd7m\" data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"510\"\u003e III.

The Art of Composition: Two Worlds Connected by a Single Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-start=\"807\" data-end=\"1031\"\u003e This piece clearly switches between the two qualities of \"blue-and-white porcelain\" and \"silver glaze.\" However, rather than a strong contrast, the eye is naturally drawn to the joint. \u003cbr data-start=\"872\" data-end=\"875\"\u003eThis is because the thin line (outlined in a warm orange-gold) that runs around the border between the lid and the body tightens the whole piece and at the same time gives it a sense of \"quality as a work of art.\" Despite its straight lines, it does not appear stiff, but rather is as soft as breathing.\u003cbr data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"974\"\u003e The tension inherent in the geometry of the cube is nicely alleviated by the soft light of the blue-and-white porcelain, the shimmering texture of the silver glaze, and the warmth of the fine wire. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr data-start=\"1033\" data-end=\"1036\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"5kacy9\" data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1063\"\u003e V.
