Earth and water are the roots of nature.
I want to share the joy of this enchanting beauty of ceramics born from nature
Often our daily lives are spent solely in the world inside our smartphones. So I wish to create an experience connected with nature and outside of the screens.
I want to share the joy of the enchanting beauty of ceramics born from nature. Earth and water are the roots of nature, touched by wind, thirsted by the heat of the sun, and turned into pottery by fire. It is incredible and simply inspiring to see soft clay transform into beautiful pottery. The experience of witnessing the feel, the colors, and the wonder is about 10,000 times different than just seeing the final product. It changes the world you see so much that every cell in your body is reborn. Your imagination expands and it’s mind-blowing.
The world of ceramics is beautiful and interesting - it is very enriching to have vessels that come from nature in our daily lives. I want to share that joy with you all.
Foreigners are welcome to attend. We are English friendly.
Coexist in harmony
In Japan, there is a culture of enjoying the pleasure of eating "rice from the same pot.“ It means working and getting to know the stranger that you meet that day. By sharing a meal from the same pot no longer makes you strangers, but someone you shared a special moment with.
We will hold a workshop where participants can enjoy making pottery and musubi. Although they may be young or old, male or female, and in different positions and languages, it will be a place where everyone feels joy by being both a producer and consumer.
It is one of my favorite activities as an artist to make a space where people with different backgrounds can share a creative time using ceramics.
[Coexist in harmony]
The idea of coexistence not only between humans, but also between humans and nature, and all things that have "life".
Contents
Using a hand wheel, each participant will create a piece of pottery. Please spend ample time with clay in a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere.
You will enjoy making Musubi with freshly made rice cooked in an earthenware pot. Three kinds of ingredients for Musubi and miso soup are included.
After the meal, an electric pottery demonstration will be held.
Your work will be completed to you in about a month. (If you wish to have it shipped, shipping fee will be charged separately.)
CNN Hong Kong interviewed me for a story, and it was broadcast.(JAN, 2024)
The Japanese word for nature - shizen - has long inspired Japan's aesthetics through its culture, arts and handicrafts.
