Did You Know?

This vessel was fired in the kiln at Kent State University while Kohyama was in residence at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

Description

Kohyama Yasuhisa is known for his exploration of natural forms. This piece is part of a series examining wind, which he began in the 1980s. This vessel was intended for ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement.
A light brown stoneware clay vessel appears almost in the shape of a paper boat, a diamond-like shape curving up at the edges. The vessel has an oval opening in the center. The surface is speckled and scratched and darkens in brown before turning gray along the pointed edges.
