Ukiyo is a collaboration with my partner Tatsuya Tsutsui. Tatsuya made the form. I contributed the overglaze decoration. The general concept behind this piece deals with water and floating.

The name of this piece, Ukiyo, translates as floating/fleeting/transient world. In its modern usage, the term Ukiyo is used to refer to a state of mind emphasising living in the moment, detached from the difficulties of life.
