Suzuki Goro - Carly Steuck

Suzuki Goro is a Japanese master ceramist and works in many different styles that all rooted to Japanese traditions.  One style she uses is Oribe ware, which features simples design motifs based on fanciful combination of squares, rectangles and circles.  He adds dipped or poured accents of a green flowing glaze at the end.  I find his shapes and work very detailed and the ending product always looks memorizing.
