Kawase Shinobu's remarkable celadon porcelain masterpieces are a testament to his profound reverence for traditional Chinese celadon art. He dedicated extensive hours to immersing himself in the study of the collections of Taiwan's National Museum, absorbing the accumulated wisdom of centuries of ceramic craftsmanship. Remarkably, his celadon creations, while paying homage to classic Song Dynasty material culture, consistently attain a level of refinement that rivals, and often surpasses, their predecessors.

Through years of in-depth research, Kawase unveiled a profound revelation: the innate allure and grace of Chinese celadon ceramics are rooted in their harmonious integration of natural forms. These organic shapes seamlessly find their place in Kawase's artistic expressions, exemplified by this elegant celadon porcelain vase, which delicately mirrors the graceful form of a lotus stem, evoking strong Buddhist imagery. In his creations, Kawase explores the rich tapestry of natural motifs found in Buddhist visual cultures, such as the lotus rising from the muddy waters, eventually breaching the surface.

Nature continues to serve as an abundant wellspring of inspiration for Kawase, consistently guiding him to draw formal elements from the world of flora and fauna, ultimately transforming them into captivating, subtly nuanced works of celadon art.
