Available from Art on the Table when we last checked. Sold from the shop’s own store; the price there is the one that counts.

Futoshi Yamashita lives and makes his pottery in Aso, Kumamoto, the biggest caldera in the world surrounded by beautiful nature which used to be volcano. He uses clay from Aso and uses ash and other ingredients from volcano to make glazes as well, so he call his works volcano pottery. Potters usually fire in the kiln once or twice, but he fires as much as 5 times to be satisfied with the quality and expression of the piece. His works are totally one of the kind piece.
