Flower Vase with Lugs 

Exhibition information
There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.

This flower vase represents the concept of [wabi], which embraces simplicity and imperfection. The shape of the vase was intentionally distorted while the clay was still soft. It was fired in a wood-burning kiln for multiple days, resulting in a stony texture accented with melted ash.
