Rain falls on one side, while the red sun rises on the other. Or perhaps, does a harvest moon wane against evening sky? What shadows impress themselves against the walls of homes?


Set against a backdrop of bisque-fired stoneware, Hayashi’s visions, seen outside the windows of a Japanese-style home, are captured in scenes of nature represented in geometric fashion on the surfaces of this object: One can interpret much symbolism in "Square Shadow." Hayashi Yasuo, born in 1928, left his imprint on the Parisian art scene by exhibiting his ceramic works alongside Isamu Noguchi. His later works, such as this piece, features geometric motifs inspired by his wartime experiences, further this evolution, marking a transition from visual representation to a deeper exploration of memory and form.
