Porcelain Sake Cup Shaped JPteacup by Hideki Hayashi

The carved patterns on this piece give it an exotic impression. Every singles one of this artist’s works is a literal one-of-a-kind work of art. Once you see them, you will never forget his impactful designs and artistic vibe.

Mr. Hayashi was born into a potter family situated in the Mino region of Japan. This area is full of pottery! He grew up immersed in the continued pottery tradition of the area and of his own family. In some articles, he has said he experienced feelings of tremendous stimulation and energy from the surroundings there which led him to create his stunning works. Although they have a modern feeling, you can still see the influence from his predecessors and birthplace. Mr. Hayashi’s passion for his art comes through in every piece.

Looking at his work is quite an experience.  You can see the variety of techniques used in all of his amazing works and this makes his pieces very original. Take a look at this novel piece in earthy vibes. He really thinks “outside the box”!  The glazing combined with the brighter and shadier tones are truly elements of note here. You may also notice a simple but dinamic carving.  I get a vibe of lively busy-ness from his knife work!
