Stunning Wood-Fired Tamba-Yaki Vase by Toshun Ishida (1944–2012)
This striking piece was created by Toshun Ishida, a renowned female potter from the Tamba-Yaki tradition, one of Japan's Six Ancient Kilns. Her work is celebrated for its powerful form and earthy textures.
This vase showcases the Yakishime (wood-fired, unglazed) technique, in which natural flame and ash interact with the clay to create unique, organic color variations. No glaze is used—the beauty comes entirely from clay and fire.
