YOSHINORI

TAKEMURA

An interpretation of Hakudo rain’s olfactory concept by the Japanese ceramic artist Yoshinori Takemura.

Takemura’s ceramic objects for this limited edition are created with mangan glaze and each object is born with a unique texture and personality, resonating with the spirit of hakudo rain. The shapes and colors created by yoshinori and his artworks are one of a kind, refering to the imperfect shape and human touch in the artpieces he makes. He expresses the process of applying the glaze as “putting on clothes” on white unglazed wares so each has its unique personality and is the one and only.

MATCHA-WAN for Candle

This ceramic matcha-wan is created with a dipping of mangan glaze, resulting in a unexpected suspention. In combination with the essences of hakudo rain, it recreates the ritual - like moment of air being charged with a spirit of rain.

UTSUWA for Incense 

This utsuwa is made with a man-gan glaze which was inspired by a precious scent ritual connected to the concept of hakudo rain. When lighting incense in its center, the scent offers a sacred moment to rejuvenate mind and spirit.
