| Introduction Introduction |
We are pleased to announce that we will be holding a father-daughter exhibition at Kakiden Gallery for the first time in three years. Last year, we had the opportunity to present a kettle, a collaborative work between father and daughter, to Ise Grand Shrine, which was celebrating its Shikinen Sengu (periodic rebuilding of the shrine). Furthermore, it was a wonderful year for me, as my own kettle was used in the movie "Ask Rikyu," which was released in December. In addition to the new works, these pieces will also be on display, and we hope you will come and see them. Shozo Kawabe |
