SNAKE AND FLAME

A ceramic vase made by Sakura Tokiyama.
It has a mood of being from an old era, yet with a modern impression. A snake, a candle, and mysterious creatures around them. It looks like some kind of magical ritual. It is fun to think about the story when there are mysteries left behind. The cracks on the rim have been fixed with gold, a technique called "Kintsugi". Its gold color and the tasteful green glaze is a perfect match.
