Kegon Waterfall Series 'Morning Mist' by Hayashi Kaku
Hayashi Kaku(b.1953) is a major ceramic artist here in Japan whose work is little known in the west, although her work was part of a traveling exhibition 'Soaring Voices--Contemporary Japanese Women Ceramic Artists'--that toured Japan and the US. This year she was awarded a prestigious award for a work exhibited at the Nitten; her exhibition history-award-lectures are too long to list here, yet will be sent along with this work. The Kegon Waterfall is one of the most beautiful and famous waterfalls in all of Japan and Hayashi lives not from there. She draws upon the majestic beauty and power of the falls and incorporates those elements-emotions into her works, whether they be pieces like 'Morning Mist' or the many ceramic walls she is asked to create. This piece was exhibited in Japan at the Paramita Museum's 'Women Ceramic Artists who bear the 21st Century' in 2009 and the work is shown in the catalog, a copy of which will accompany the work. It is a stunningly powerful and graceful work, of course a museum piece. In perfect condition, 38.5cm.tallx81cm.longx23.5cm.deep, 24.45kg, and thus must be sent via a private shipper. Three recent Hayashi works were shown at the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art in the 44th Women Potter's Exhibition; scroll down in the following link to see them, I'm sure you'll be able to tell which ones: http://www.h5.dion.ne.jp/~w-tougei/201044memberchoice.htm
