{"product_id":"p1975","title":"Black Vase","description":"This black jar is by Masao Akitani, who studied under Living National Treasure Jun Isezaki and creates works full of unique originality with a fresh sensibility. The diagonal comb patterns, reminiscent of those by Jun Isezaki, succeed in creating a magnificent atmosphere that could never be achieved by wheel-throwing alone, as they also alter the refraction of light. The smart, broad-shouldered form is very modern and perfect for stylish, Western-style rooms. The black surface with comb patterns has a high affinity for spotlight-like illumination, which will further enhance its beauty.\n\nA signed wooden box is not included (we can provide a quote if you would like one).\u003cbr\u003e\nDiameter 29.4cm × Diameter 26.4cm × Height 43.0cm\n\nMasao Akitani was born in Saitama in 1968.
