Wagatsuma-san's Tsubaki No. 6 is a play on form that quotes itself. An Ejiko – the classic basket-child form – carries a second, smaller Ejiko as a hat. The volume doubles, the motif repeats, the logic turns in a circle – and precisely there lies the wit of this extraordinary piece.
Brush drawing in purple and blue covers both forms. The natural bark separates the painted surfaces and sets the rhythm.
Camellia wood, turned entirely by hand. One of a kind.
