"Big-Headed Lion" - wild fired ceramic by Hiroki Miura from February 2024.   

This piece was fired using a “wild burning” technique, where the work is baked outdoors for about half a day using rice husks, straw and wood as fuel. Colouring is done by decorating with pigments, minerals and soil before firing.

Each figure comes packed in a sweet, hand made box, with an illustration of the work hand drawn on the front by Hiroki.
