A round, moon-like lampshade in two tones: the upper half a pale, creamy white with a soft sheen of melted ash, the lower half fired to a warm terracotta — like a full moon rising over a red evening horizon.
Hundreds of small holes are pierced by hand across the surface, gathered into drifting clusters, tiny star-shaped rosettes and a few fine slits, with an open circle at the crown. Lit from within, the pale clay glows and the whole globe fills with points of golden light.
Unglazed Bizen stoneware, wood-fired in one continuous firing near Bizen, Okayama (GPS 34.7456°N, 134.1894°E). Its colour and markings are kiln transformation (yōhen) — the record of earth and flame in a single moment, not a pattern anyone chose. One of a kind, shaped by human hands, and impossible to reproduce. Traceable to the kiln that made it.
