Working with early yakishime techniques of high-firing ceramics, Iwata plays with haphazardness of clay to bring the rich texture, colour and sheen innate to the material up to the surface. This playfulness can be seen in the whimsical shapes and addition of found seashells in some of his work that make each piece wholly unique. While the surface of his pieces appear to highlight the natural element of chance, his practice also reflects a consideration of each piece's place in a home and in our hands, ensuring that its shape is well thought out and function very well. \u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"beige-teapot-small","title":"Beige Teapot - Small","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am a Small Beige Teapot.

Keisuke Iwata tells us that these two spheres—one large and one small—were originally meant to be separate pieces. To protect them from breaking during firing, Iwata-san often places a seashell between the pieces, allowing the shell to leave beautiful imprints or colorations.

The result is a piece that feels alive with texture, history, and the magic of the firing process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnagama No.16 - Ashen Amber Stone Vase was curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKeisuke Iwata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.0\" (w) x 2.5\" (l) x 2.0\" (h) or 76mm (w) x 64mm (l) x 51mm (h)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.3 lbs or 0.1 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCeramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne-of-a-kind functional sculpture vase handmade by Keisuke Iwata in Fukuoka, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn Anagama fired piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower sprigs and water can be contained in two small openings at the top of the piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated using an ancient Japanese ceramic technique that involves an Anagama woodfired kiln, fired in a ceremonial process by Keisuke Iwata\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnagama works are each unique to the clay's own intimate interactions with the flames and ash\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures unique markings, seashell imprints, amber marks, pale pink tones, ashened areas and irregular surface texture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeisuke Iwata's signature carved on the bottom of the piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWater can be inserted into the small holes via a liquid syringe or by submerging the vase in a bucket of water \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatertight material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Keisuke Iwata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47214379106550,"sku":"KI-16","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Keisuke_Iwata_Amber_Dot_Stone_Vase_Featured.jpg?v=1728174426"},{"product_id":"anagama-no-1-dappled-gray-vase","title":"Anagama No.1 - Dappled Gray Vase (OUT OF STOCK)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am Anagama No.1 Dappled Gray Vase.

This large, spherical vase—reminiscent of the moon or even a puffer fish—stands out not only for its unique form but also for its rare and intricate surface. Keisuke Iwata recounted the story behind this piece with pride, as it was his first time using a gloss gray glaze and the first time he fired a piece twice—once in an electric kiln and again in the anagama kiln. This dual process resulted in the stunning, dappled textures and the marble-like patterns, with crevices and ashen spots that make the surface feel almost like an abstract painting. One of the most fascinating details is the subtle touch of the three seashell imprints that the vase rests on. Functionally, the shells propped up the spherical form during firing, but they also leave a poetic mark, a quiet secret shared only between Iwata-san and the future owner. They’re a reminder of the hidden mysteries within Iwata’s work—details that only reveal themselves with time and closer observation. This vase leaves much for the viewer to interpret, with its tactile surface and mysterious presence inviting endless contemplation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnagama No.1 Dappled Gray Vase was curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKeisuke Iwata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e7.5\" (w) x 7.8\" (l) x 7.3\" (h) or 191mm (w) x 198mm (l) x 185mm (h)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e4.6 lbs or 2.1 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCeramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne-of-a-kind functional sculpture handmade by Keisuke Iwata in Fukuoka, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne-of-a-kind functional sculpture vase handmade by Keisuke Iwata in Fukuoka, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlowers and water can be contained through an opening carved out in the piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUniquely fired twice in both an electric and Anagama kiln resulting in rich textural and tonal details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated using an ancient Japanese ceramic technique that involves an Anagama woodfired kiln, fired in a ceremonial process by Keisuke Iwata\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnagama works are each unique to the clay's own intimate interactions with the flames and ash\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWatertight material\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatures unique markings, seashell imprints, ashened areas and irregular surface texture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eRests on three seashell-imprinted “feet” that gently cradle the vase, keeping it perfectly balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeisuke Iwata's signature carved on the bottom of the piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Keisuke Iwata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47214382776566,"sku":"KI-1","price":3650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Iwata_Keisuke__AnagamaNo1_DappledGrayVase_Featured.jpg?v=1727639833"},{"product_id":"no-1-anagama-heishi-vase","title":"Anagama No. 2 - Large Heishi Vase (OUT OF STOCK)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am Anagama No.2 Large Heishi Vase.

This particular Heishi vase, created through the anagama kiln, brings a contemporary twist to that ancient form. Its multicolored surface is adorned with striking orange and amber tones, created by shell imprints left behind during firing. As Iwata-san explained, carefully placed seashells protected the surface, while their chemistry left behind these vivid, natural markings—almost as if the kiln itself decided the colors. Standing as the true masterpiece of the collection, this vase commands attention with its sculptural quality and rich texture. With barnacle-like details and uneven surfaces, it feels as though it has been excavated from the depths of the earth or recovered from a shipwreck. Every angle reveals something new, showcasing the kiln’s unpredictable beauty.

Its deep, mesmerizing black surface is enlivened by subtle metallic flecks, creating a sparkle that catches the light in a way that feels almost otherworldly. The history of the sake cup is deeply intertwined with Japanese culture, much like the revered chawan in tea ceremonies. Sake cups are often used in celebratory moments, and this one, with its extraordinary firing marks, is a celebration of craftsmanship itself. What makes this piece even more extraordinary is the element of surprise in its creation. As Keisuke Iwata often recounts, the moment of retrieving a piece from the anagama kiln is full of anticipation—the fire and ash leave their mark in ways no artist can fully predict. This cup, with its perfect blend of elegance and unpredictability, has traveled through that entire process to now sit here on display at our gallery. It’s a magnificent testament to the magic that happens between the kiln and the artist’s hand.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnagama No.36 - Flared Sake Cup was curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKeisuke Iwata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.3\" (w) x 3.1\" (l) x 1.8\"(h) or 84mm (w) x 79mm (l) x 46mm (h)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e0.2 lbs or 0.1 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCeramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne-of-a-kind sake cup handmade by Keisuke Iwata in Fukuoka, Japan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn Anagama fired piece\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe surface varies in tone and texture and features metallic bronze elements in the interior of the cup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRim is uneven and unique to its handcrafted nature \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCreated using an ancient Japanese ceramic technique that involves an Anagama woodfired kiln, fired once a year in a ceremonial process by Keisuke Iwata \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAnagama works are each unique to the clay's own intimate interactions with the flames and ash \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandwash recommended\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Keisuke Iwata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47233593114870,"sku":"KI-36","price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Iwata_Keisuke_KI-36_WideSakeCup_Featured.jpg?v=1727642107"},{"product_id":"anagama-no-38-white-sake-cup-wide","title":"Anagama No.38 - White Sake Cup - Wide (OUT OF STOCK)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am Anagama No.38 White Sake Cup.

Iwata-san’s work never fails to surprise, but this black, in particular, feels like a quiet yet powerful statement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eBlack Plate was curated by Angélique Chmielewski\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eArtist: \u003c\/b\u003eKeisuke Iwata\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e9.5\" (w) x 9.5\" (l) x 0.9\" (h) or 241mm (w) x 241mm (l) x 23mm (h)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1.1 lbs or 0.5 kg\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCeramic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandcrafted by Keisuke Iwata in Fukuoka, Japan \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor is a deep dark brown tone, almost black, with hints of metallic bronze and midnight blue \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe glaze will vary in tone and texture and natural irregularities\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnglazed on the bottom \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRim on each plate is uneven and unique \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach piece is handcrafted one-by-one and will have variations \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHand wash recommended\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Keisuke Iwata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47298019721462,"sku":"KI-O","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Iwata_Keisuke_KI-O_Black_Featured.jpg?v=1727477487"},{"product_id":"anagama-no-21-cube-vase","title":"Anagama No.21 - Cube Vase (OUT OF STOCK)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI am Anagama Cube Vase No. 17. With my mossy green hues and gradient, it’s as if I’ve been resting beneath the sea.

Despite being a contemporary work of functional art, there’s something timeless about it—like it carries echoes of past lives. Could it have been a box, a dice, a keepsake from an ancient time?

Sake cups are often used in celebratory moments, and this one, with its extraordinary firing marks, is a celebration of craftsmanship itself. What makes this piece even more extraordinary is the element of surprise in its creation. As Keisuke Iwata often recounts, the moment of retrieving a piece from the anagama kiln is full of anticipation—the fire and ash leave their mark in ways no artist can fully predict. This cup, with its perfect blend of elegance and unpredictability, has traveled through that entire process to now sit here on display at our gallery.
