Kage Ao Large Art Bowl – Gold Accent by Yoshu Takenishi

This one-of-a-kind bowl is handcrafted by Yoshu Takenishi, known for his Shima White and Seto Blue collections. Flowing layers of deep blue, misty celadon, and radiant gold create a dynamic, painterly surface that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. Generous in form, it serves beautifully as a centerpiece or serving vessel. The gold accents shimmer softly, adding quiet drama. No two pieces are alike—each bowl is a singular work of art that reflects Takenishi's refined modern aesthetic and deep connection to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. It comes with a wooden box signed by the artist.

Each Kage Ao piece reflects Takenishi’s evolving vision as a ceramic artist. During our visit to his studio in Ehime, we witnessed how tradition and innovation beautifully coexist in his work.
