Yellow flowers bloom in the fields and mountains, creating a hazy scene
The elaborate shape and the texture of the fired surface

Of the three pieces we have received this time, this is the only one that is a different type.
The firing gives it a soft and gentle impression, but the shape is the most imposing.
The moderate dynamism gives it a relaxed atmosphere. It has a presence like a mighty tree.
The brown color gets darker from top to bottom, but there is a rare and interesting sight of a light blue-gray haze in between.
It may be the remains of burnt straw.

Bizen Chaire is perfect, as is the imagining of its presence as a mighty tree. Thank you for all of your words, photos and of yourself. Cheers, from Aotearoa
