IT'S A SQUARE DEAL

I put together a rather short slideshow video to give a perspective of what this kaku-kinuta hanaire by Wakao Toshisada looks like in three dimensions. The thrown and squared up vase has a  surface of rather beaded pure white Shino with accents on the face and side of the form with rather vivid facets running from down the piece on the neck and the body. This vase is a rather distinctly simple piece without any extras depending rather on a solid and classic form, a certain blend of subtlety, austerity and strength and excellent proportions  which at the end of the day are all that is necessary to bring in and captivate an audience.
