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, born in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture, graduated from Waseda University, Faculty of Education, Department of English Language and Literature in 2015. In 2021, she started her training at the Technical Support Center for Ceramics of Tochigi Prefecture and became an assistant to Koichi Onozawa at the same time.
Bisui Ishikawa has been self-employed since 2023 and produces pottery in the city of Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture. In the same year, she had her first exhibition at the pottery fair in Mashiko.
Bisui Ishikawa turns her delicate, light bowls on the potter's wheel and shapes the rims as desired. This shaping, which depends on Bisui's mood and the shape of the day, creates curves in the bowl that suit the bowl and make the bowls unique. 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. So she makes handmade vases in her spare time.
The kanji "bisui" in the artist's name can also be read as "slumber" in Japan. It is like the world one sees in the middle of sleep, between dreams and reality. Between dreams and reality - like Bisui's dreamy bowls and vases - very real.
