Bicone Vase by U-Turn Ushiro

About the Item

Bicone vase by U-Turn Ushiro. It is baked for several days in an anagama (a kiln that burns firewood). It is shaped vertically symmetrically. The copper contained in the clay blows out on the surface, and reddish-black spots can be seen partially. It is a work where you can see various reactions of various ingredients. U-Turn Ushiro While working at the fire station as a rescue worker, he encountered pottery and started making pottery. In 2021, he built his own all-underground anagama kiln in Mashiko-machi, Tochigi Prefecture. He uses the soil and stones dug in the mountains and firewood to bake his pottery. Focusing on the light and sound when something burns, and how it melts and crumbles, he develops creative activities centered on the production of ceramic works. With dance and yoga as his lifework, he engages in the practice and research of modern shamanism from the intersection of "dance" and "manufacturing.".
