Label TextHayashi Kaku’s works are unique, intimate and sculptural. The surface of this tea bowl evokes a sense of rough cliffs and falling water, reflecting her main sources of inspiration: desolate mountains, the sacred Kegon (??) Waterfall in Tochigi prefecture, and the concept of Emptiness in Zen Buddhism. The name that Hayashi Kaku gave this bowl, "Hana" ? (“flower”), is written with the same character as the first character in the name Kegon.On View
