Ms. Mirviss, a New York dealer, specializes in Japanese ceramics. The work of Sakiyama Takayuki, who lives on the Izu peninsula, 75 miles from Tokyo— but reachable only by arduous travel— approaches nature in a traditional medium. His abstract, swirling stoneware sculptures, covered with a glaze made from local sand, reflect the movement of wind and waves in his remote habitat/ The titles of the work emphasize this: All begin with the word "Choto", which translates roughly to the echo or sound of the waves.
