Description:
The Shinogi vase combines several design signatures of Tomoro Pottery. “Shinogi” refers to the ridged pattern covering the vase, a technique that Morisaki often uses in her designs. Like all Tomoro Pottery, this vase evokes forms found in nature. Its round, irregular form is similar to a sea urchin or seed pod. The outside of the piece is unglazed, emphasizing the sculptural form and natural beauty of Morisaki’s clay.
