Do you know the attracting Hagi potter "Tsukasa Kaneko" now?
Speaking of Hagi ware, wabisabi. It's in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, a pop, cute and slightly poisonous color Hagi ware appears. The Hagi ware, which has often been talked about among lovers, is Tsukasa Kaneko's work! The exhibition and sale of Tsukasa Kaneko was held in Ginza Mitsukoshi.
There is also a gacha.
Kaneko is from Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and is still working with an atelier in Hagi City. It's often talked about, but it's hard to actually see it in Tokyo. Ginza Mitsukoshi has already ended, but Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi will start an exhibition and sales event in late July! Before that, I would like to introduce Kaneko's work.
First of all, this is the very popular teapot.
There is a tea strainer net inside, so you can put tea leaves as it is. And the lid can be bought in combination freely. It's easy to hold and all are cute.
Next, it's a platter. Please take a look at it. It is very elaborate, made by hanging paints one by one and rotating 360 degrees.
And here!
Little size set of tea cups and saucers. It seems to have been made as a milk pitcher, but it can also be used for children. The price is reasonable, so it will be appreciated if you prepare a full set and give it a gift.
This is a kaleidoscope.
This exhibition "Kyoka Suigetsu" is a word that expresses ephemeral and beautiful like a phantom, beauty that cannot be picked up, and depth that cannot be explained, but the main theme is kaleidoscope. The world you can see when you look into this beautiful kaleidoscope....Please look forward to it!
Looking at the image above, do you see that the light is transparent?
Among the works exhibited and sold this time, there is a series of "Hagi ware, which is transparent like glass" made of new materials. When you actually see it, it's a strange feeling. It looks like the soil is transparent...。 And it was made using this material.↓
It's a lampshade.
There are several exhibits, from small stand-type to large umbrella-type that can accommodate the living room. It's a soft and eye-friendly light.
There are also stylish mushrooms!
How was it?
Even though it is colorful and gorgeous, it has the unique wabisabi and dignified atmosphere of Hagi ware. The real thing has no flashy impression at all.
This coloring and the composition of the handle cannot be done with a brush. How is it?...？ If you are wondering, please ask Kaneko at the venue. "Now, I see....Was that right?...That's right!
This is Kaneko's Hagi atelier. It's very fashionable.
I saw a demonstration here before. It's very interesting and I want to try it myself! It was a beautiful work. I would be glad if you could do workshops in Tokyo too....。
How was the "Kyoka Suigetsu Tsukasa Kaneko Ceramic Exhibition" that was given with a lot of images? Only pottery that can be used daily, the price starts from several thousand yen. The event will be held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi from late July. It is a work hard to see in Tokyo, so if you are interested, please check it out!
