By mixing contemporary sophistication with influences of her Japanese heritage, Noe Kuremoto creates extraordinary ceramic art. With soft and minimalistic shapes, this beautiful Iwashi sculpture is timeless yet contemporary.
Iwashi, which means sardine, is inspired by one of Noe Kuremoto's childhood memory during the Japanese Setsubun festival:
"When we were kids, we helped making a door decoration Hiiragi Iwashi, literally ‘holly sardine’ is a cooked sardine head impaled on a holly branch. My mother used to source these fish bones from our local sushi shop. We believe that demons which brings illness does not like the strong smell of sardines and they fear getting their eyes poked by the sharp points on holly leaves."
Details: the sculpture is signed by the artist on the bottom. The white dripping glaze gives the sculpture a unique finish. Please note that this sculpture is not watertight but works perfect with dried flowers
The art of the London based artist Noe Kuremoto captures the natural beauty of life by using simple organic form without being neither predicable nor boring. As a tribute to women she has created unique sculptures for The Ode To. Learn more in Noe Kuremoto's artist portrait.
