Kokusai Kaki (黒彩花器)
This is a Hagi ware vase which Okada-san has created.
Irons and coppers are mixed by many kinds of metallic oxide and he put ashes glaze after he painted them on the body.
There is a shade created by black color and the jar becomes special character.
He had the mouth slanting a bit, and the body becomes the humorous shape.
