Crafted by Kan Matsuzaki, this Yohen Ash-Glaze reveals the quiet alchemy of wood, flame, and clay, its surface alive with textures born from the unpredictable path of fire. During the intense heat of a wood firing, ash from the burning fuel drifts through the kiln and settles gently onto the vessel. As the temperature rises, that ash melts into a natural glaze, fusing with the clay to form a surface of remarkable depth and variation. The result is a landscape of textures: smooth, glassy areas where the ash pooled and melted; matte, mineral-rich patches where it settled lightly; and delicate pinholes and rivulets that trace the movement of flame and air.

The vase, with its subtle yet deliberate lean, carries a textured surface that invites the eye to linger, creating a quiet sense of character and warmth within the space.

This comes with its own wooden box with Japanese ribbon

Kan Matsuzaki

Kan Matsuzaki was born in Tokyo in 1977. His work as a Japanese ceramic artist is well known for its intricate glaze combinations and meticulous attention to surface detail.

Kan is the son of the esteemed potter Ken Matsuzaki, a prominent figure in international ceramics, whose pieces are distinguished by their elaborate glaze applications and complex compositions, showcasing contemporary interpretations of classic forms. Kan shares the same kiln with his father when firing their works, capturing inspiration – directly and indirectly – from his work.

Kan Matsuzaki has exhibited his work internationally, including at the Ippodo Gallery in New York, where his pieces have been featured in their curated shows.
