Kodai Ujiie’s jar is imbued with the cobalt blue ofukei glaze, which encases a hand-build porcelain body. A thick application of earthenware adorns the face of the jar, creating protruding appendages that evoke an approximation of the human body. Covering the entire piece in a light slip which becomes crazed within the kiln, the artist adds lacquer to the surface as a finishing touch.
