Numano Hideaki / Carving Sound 05 / approx. φ13 cm / Flowerpot

HIDEAKI NUMANO
Engraving Sound - POT All Handmade

The piece "Kokumu-oto" was named after the music that Numano likes to listen to while creating pottery.
The colors are placed to match the beat of the music, creating a piece that exudes dynamism.

Slit pots have excellent ventilation and drainage properties,
The roots near the slits sense the light and stop growing.
New roots come down from above and prevent circling.
It is said that this has the effect of allowing many roots to form.

Please note that there may be individual differences in texture (expression).

*When rinsing with water, limescale marks may appear on the slits.
If you are concerned, apply gauze or tissue soaked in citric acid.
Please try letting Quen soak in and then rubbing it off to remove the limescale.
