The beauty of natural glaze

The most attractive feature of this vase is the beautiful green color of the natural glaze produced by the Tanba kiln. The subtle changes in the natural glaze show various expressions depending on the amount of light, bringing out the beauty of the flowers. Ichino Motokazu's outstanding technique brings out the beauty of this natural glaze to the fullest.
