Occasionally, Takeazu veered from the wheel and built up vessels using molds, assembling them with her hands. She was never particularly concerned with symmetry and her hand-built forms are examples of the artist embracing irregularity, even accentuating it through her glazing. In "Shiro Momo" (White Peach), which she made after her mother’s passing, Takaezu deliberately rendered slits near the opening, granting an entry point into its hollow interior. The form has a natural connection to the earth in its coloration and bodily shape.
