What is more fitting for the first day of
Spring than to spring ahead and think of fall. Illustrated is a elementally
Rimpa style chawan by Wakao Toshisada with falling leaves drifting about the
surface of the bowl. Using his Nezumi-Shino as the basis for the chawan,
silver, iron red and white leaves decorate the bowl and move about the surface that
bring us to reminisce about Fall which as we know comes fast enough. A single
leaf can be seen peering over the lip of the chawan as Wakao makes full use of
his ceramic canvas in a simple and minimal manner. Using flora, fauna and other
natural device, each and ever Rimpa style bowl that Wakao Toshisada makes
conjures up memories and endless possibilities to come.

and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities." Stephen Hawking
