Bisui Ishikawa
About the object: Bisui Ishikawa's oval vase is approx. 9 cm high and measures between 8 cm and 10 cm in diameter. Due to its unusual shape, it is only recognizable as such at second glance. This vase made of Japanese clay looks very light and dreamy thanks to the minty, cloudy glaze. And the small opening is perfect for individual flowers or branches, dry or fresh. Always beautiful.
Manufacturing process: Bisui turns her vases on the potter's wheel, but the vases, whose shape is not that of a perfect circle, are made by hand.
Bisui refers to the time when she is not at the potter's wheel as free time. She therefore makes handmade vases in her free time. This vase is made and glazed by hand.

- Bisui Ishikawa vases and vessels should be washed by hand. Use clear water or at most gentle cleaning agents and no abrasive sponges.
- Dry the vessel carefully after cleaning to avoid water stains.
- Ceramic pots can be rougher on the underside than pots made of other materials. We therefore recommend protecting sensitive surfaces on which the jar is to be placed from scratching if necessary.
Bisui Ishikawa's works are characterized by lightness, delicacy and an unmistakable formal language. Her bowls are created on the potter's wheel, where she shapes the rims according to her mood and the shape of the day. Each curve adapts harmoniously to the piece and makes each bowl a unique work of art. Her vases are also turned on the wheel, but the irregularly shaped vases are created entirely by hand, giving each object its very own personality. The time when Bisui Ishikawa is not working on the wheel is a creative phase for her, during which other handmade vases are created and which she describes as her free time.
Bisui Ishikawa has been working as an independent ceramicist in Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture, since 2023 and presented her work for the first time at the pottery fair in Mashiko. Prior to this, she graduated from Waseda University in 2015 in the English Language and Literature Department and began her training at the Tochigi Prefectural Ceramics Technical Support Center in 2021. At the same time, she worked as an assistant to Koichi Onozawa.
The artist's name, the kanji "Bisui", can also be read as slumber in Japan. It stands for the world between dream and reality and reflects the dreamy yet tangible quality of her bowls and vases. Each piece invites you to experience this special balance and enrich your everyday life with art.
