Feature 3つの特徴

01
形を求めて。
Shape
体に染み込んだ苗代川の伝統と大学時代に出会った造形の世界に立体という共通項を見い出し、これは良いと思う、そんな形を轆轤で引き上げる。
Finding a common element of three-dimensionality in the traditions of the Naeshirogawa that have permeated my body and the world of sculpture I encountered during university, I create shapes I believe are good, pulling them up on the wheel.
02
彫る。
Carve
白薩摩の新しい姿をより魅力的に、自分の理想の表現を求めて「彫文」に行きつく。考え続ける中で降りてきたものを表現にかえ彫る。
In pursuit of a more attractive new form of white Satsuma ware and my ideal expression, I have arrived at 'carved decoration(彫文)'. I translate what has come to me through contemplation into expression and carve it.
03
波うつ。
Wave
海岸の砂浜の波文を見て降りてきたのが「波文」でした。薩摩焼の新しいワクワクする潮流を、湧き上がる作陶の面白さを波うつ模様にこめる。
The 'wave pattern(波文)' that came to me was inspired by observing the waves on a sandy beach. I infuse the new, exciting currents of Satsuma ware with the dynamic patterns of waves, capturing the rising enjoyment of creating pottery.
