The exhibition explores the artists’ confrontation with clay, reverence for fire, and belief in the potential of their own hands. Rejecting conformity, they use pottery as a medium for self-expression, conveying the current allure of ceramics. Starting with the encounter with clay, the artists focus on bringing out its charm and creating vessels that resonate with the eyes and hands of people. The pottery crafted by these three individuals is a result of extensive time, seemingly reversing the course of eras. Each piece, born through unique processes and expressions, possesses a dynamic quality that welcomes anything placed upon it. These borderless vessels allow everyone to hold them, showcasing a unique expression in each creation, shaped by the artists’ personalities and humanity.

Born in 1977 in Ishikawa prefecture. Ceramist based in Sakai-shi, Tondabayashi-shi, Osaka. With a passion to pursue the exploration of clay, he creates Kohiki and Mishima paying a great deal of attention to the glaze. With the Mishima plates the color of the clay and the engraved white pattern lines are well balanced, easy for a novice user since the utsuwa complements the coloring of both Japanese and Western cuisine. Carefully engraved lines give the vessel a modern look that adds attractiveness to the dining table with a non lacquered surface that matures through use.
