Shigaraki Orb by Kato Takahiko

One earth; using 5th century anagama technology and materials of life itself that haven’t changed since the first pottery was made (clay, air, water, fire) here is a visual reminder of where we all live. Every tilt brings a new horizon, made by Shigaraki veteran Kato Takahiko–a RYYG favorite–it’s between 26-29cm. depending on where it’s measured from, signed on base and with a signed box.
