A vessel where sharpness and softness, stillness and strength coexist

Fujiwara Jun's "8-Pointed Beans" is an octagonal plate with a sharp yet delicate "pointed" ridge running through it, making for a striking presence. Within its well-balanced form, the architectural tension that is characteristic of Fujiwara Jun coexists with an organic softness.

The surface is decorated with three-dimensional decorations using the ichichin (squeezing technique), giving it a warm feeling as if traces of the hand's movements remain.

Straight lines and curves, sharpness and gentleness.
This piece, which harmonizes opposing elements, is deeply imbued with Jun Fujiwara's creative philosophy.
