Kan Matsuzaki constructs landscapes within his works using glaze and slip on the surfaces. The beautiful white glaze on this piece flowers around the form like a thick fog. The white shino glaze layers over the brusy surface decoration, creating a soft, fog like effect.
The artist ingeniously paints with the glaze and through a wood firing, the dance of the colors are revealed.
