Bold, bulbous, and irregular, Kazunori Hamana creates vast ceramics that absorb and update Japanese craft traditions. Guided by nature and executed through intuition, his striking vessel sculptures are imbued with an appreciation for the concepts of wabi-sabi, aspects of which advocate for the acceptance of impermanence.

2024年5月1日 · Drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese tsubo, functional clay jars dating back to the 12 th century, Hamana creates large-scale dynamic vessels that transcend mere containers.

2020年9月18日 · THIS LARGE HAND-MADE vase, comprising various clays sourced in Japan’s Shiga Prefecture, is emblematic of the environment in which it was created. Its complex texture results from celebrated ceramicist Kazunori Hamana’s unique mineral-based glazes – as well as from nature. Left outside for an extended period, the bespoke vessel was ...

Hamana shapes the pieces to mimic a traditional “tsubo jar.” Customarily, these pieces were used for storage… the “wide-shouldered” jar is quite different than those with standard curves. The vessels are uneven throughout, some objects appear to virtually collapse into itself.
