Kawamoto Goro (1919–1986, Seto, Aichi Prefecture) viewed the potter's wheel as a tool invented in order to make large numbers of wares; concluding that work done on the wheel was determined not by the potter's independent idea but by the wheel’s potential, he went back to hand-building to be able to play with ideas. This bowl arose from the challenge of shaping a vessel from a single ball of clay. The decoration, perhaps inspired by the stenciled designs on cave walls in southwest France, gives a focal point to the form and also reveals Kawamoto’s broad interests in art.
