Standing three feet tall and nearly two feet wide, the Misu is another highly popular design from Charles Swanson. Like the Lura, the Misu - with its deep hollow featured at the top of the form, and soft edges sloping down to a sturdy base - is another chozubachi-inspired piece.

This cast-stone form - much like the spirit of Zen itself - embodies the qualities of simplicity, refined beauty, and stillness. As with all Charles Swanson sculptures, the Misu is elegant and versatile as a basin, a fountain, or a planter.
