- Physical Description
- The exterior of this three-sided triangular based vase is decorated with lines that curve together from one edge of the vase to the next. The ash glaze creates a greenish brown color, which pools and creates darker tones in some areas. The edges are not straight, but rough and bumpy.
- Subject Matter
- This is a vase. The artist, Koyama Kyoko, struggled as a female potter in a trade dominated by male artists. She received recognition when she discovered a way to revive the forgotten techinique of natural ash glazes, which are commonly used in her work.
