Kyoto “Flow” Vase in the Style of Masafumi Fujiwara | Crackle Glaze & River Motifs

The vase blends traditional Japanese aesthetics with a contemporary interpretive style, resulting in a work that is both deeply cultural and visually striking.

The surface features a warm desert-gold glaze reminiscent of sunlit riverbanks, merging seamlessly with flowing streaks of ocean blue that evoke moving water and the gentle rhythm of the Kamo’s seasonal tides. Textural white trails cascade across the form like ripples collapsing into one another, while delicate squares of gold leaf shimmer across the surface, adding a refined sense of luxury and movement.

The spherical form offers a perfect canvas for the swirling energy of the composition, making the vase visually dynamic from every viewing angle.

Ideal for serious collectors, interior stylists, and admirers of contemporary Japanese ceramics, the work stands as both a sculptural object and an ode to Kyoto’s flowing landscape - a harmony of earth, water, and light.
