Emerging from the Kyoto ceramic capital scene, Hayashi Hideyuki (b. 1937) became a member of the famous Japanese ceramic sculptural movement, Sodeisha in 1964. In line with this association with the movement, his work showcases ceramic as a sculptural medium. He creates zodiac sculptures only once a year, with the sculpture corresponding with the given year's zodiac animal in the 12 year cycle.
His works showcases clean, geometric lines with undulating and subtle patterns. He is known for using porcelain with celadon or sometsuke (blue & white), and hakuji (white porcelain). This snake is a playful piece, referencing square forms in the tessellating diamond pattern on the surface, alongside the main cube body. The snake appears to be moving through the object from one end and out the other. Its organic and rounded form nicely contrasts the sharp geometry of the cube.
His zodiac pieces for this series explore geometric precision alongside organic form.
