Jun Ware Glaze Vase “Aoi Sora” — the Blue Sky. A work expressing “the blue sky after the rain has lifted”.

A Form That Brings Calm
A work of exceedingly refined and graceful lustre in its colour. Rising from an endearing foot into a clean, full, rounded form, it gives reassurance and healing to us when we are worn by daily life.

A Lost Glaze of Ancient China
A work that brings back into the present the kin’yo glaze of Jun ware, a legendary treasure of ancient China. It is not blue alone: the faint purple kiln transformation that appears like mist is one of its charms as well.

A Blue Not of This World
A blue that seems not to belong to this world, and draws you into it. Perfectly suited to arranging flowers. An excellent work, as good to use as it is to display.

Looking Up at the Sky
The blue of a colour Shinemon made while looking up again and again at the blue sky. Made through study upon study in search of that deep blue, this work leaves one feeling as though the heart were being cleansed, and will surely give the strength to live tomorrow. A work in which emotion and joy are truly concentrated. Jun Ware Glaze Vase “Aoi Sora” is a one-off, thrown on the hand wheel and made by hand without transfers.
