[Etsushi Noguchi] Black yakijime square bottle

Size: 8 x 8 x H25cm

Etsushi Noguchi

Born in Saitama Prefecture in 1975
1999 Moved to Tanegashima, Kagoshima Prefecture with the aim of becoming a potter.
2006 Studied under Takashi Nakazato in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture
2018 Built a wood-fired kiln in KH Wurtz, Denmark.Currently produced in Kagoshima City.

Contrary to his boyish, innocent smile, his works are created in a workshop that resembles a research institute, and while they have a Nordic atmosphere that makes use of his experience in Denmark, they have a Japanese and harmonious style.

The patina and red rust that are synonymous with this piece create a unique texture and expression, and the work has beautiful gradations that make it seem like the universe is expanding inside the vessel.
There are also other works that remind us of natural landscapes like a full moon or the ocean.

With use, the pottery becomes glossy, moist and rounded, becoming even more attractive.

Please imagine the natural scenery that unfolds within the work.
