Kazuo Yagi's artistic activities started as a sculptor and soon became a ceramic sculptor, but he gave up his activities during the war. After the war, he restarted his career as a ceramic artist.

This is a rare work titled "Okimono" with a motif of a tiger stretching its back and glaring at us.
This work is from his heyday, when he was actively producing black pottery objects using the "hand-bending" technique, but he dared to create this work using the "kata" technique that he had developed during his time as a ceramic sculptor.
This work is a manifestation of Kazuo Yagi's modeling ability.
