Thors comment:
"Our Swedish Fyle clay is the closest thing to the Tokoname clay I worked with. Unfortunately, our local deposit in Skåne has run out. Excavated and I am on my last two kilos. I therefore wanted to make this pot, made in traditional Japanese technique, draped in a dark green oribe as a tribute to Tokoname."

THOR ABOUT THE EDITION - Ruins & Cherry Blossoms
"In early April, I made a pilgrimage walk between the monastery ruins in Varnhem all the way to the monastery in Gudhem. The path was lined with traces of my ancestors. The 5,000-year-old burial grounds at Ekornavallen, King Inge the Elder's 1,000-year-old grave at Hånger, the battlefields at Faris and the grassy ruins of the city of Sätuna. The raven followed me, but so did also the exuberant cherry trees in full bloom that lined my path. My fascination of the short-lived flowers of the fruit trees in contrast to the "eternal" stone monuments gave me the inspiration for this edition. And will continue to influence me for a long time to come."
