This katakuchi sake vessel was fired by Shūji Haneishi in his wood fuelled kiln, and demonstrates the unique variations in surface decoration achievable by technique. Each piece is different according to the movement of ash and fire (and there could be differences to the images shown here). Size : 11cm x 15cm x 8cm Weight:300g Capacity:200ml About Shuji Haneishi Fitting the quintessential image of a Japanese master potter, Shūji Haneishi works with earth and fire. The possibilities of firing ceramics in wood fired kilns such as the maki-gama that Haneishi uses, have fascinated potters in Japan for centuries. Always the focus is on the right wood, the right kiln conditions, with days spent achieving them, and most important of all: the element of chance and discovery that the potter battles to create.
