Why it surfaced

A software engineer worked with a Seto pottery kiln to turn a mathematical structure into a physical desk object: add two or three drops of essential oil to its central recess, then let the unglazed ceramic hold the scent. The white ceramic and black slate set is priced at ¥3,450, with limited sales planned.
