The Casino I
Shimaoka Kei (b. 1978)
This vase by Shimaoka Kei showcases a unique guitar-shaped silhouette that highlights his innovative approach to traditional Mashiko pottery. The striking red, vivid patterns on the surface draw immediate attention, creating a bold contrast against the serene blue tones on the sides. The side panels feature Shimaoka’s signature rope pattern, that adds depth and texture to the design.
