| Introduction Introduction |
Mokazu Mizogami has been a friend of mine for forty years. He had been exhibiting at the Nitten exhibition for a long time, but in recent years he has started making tea ceremony ceramics, so I have been engaging in various conversations with him and hoping to see his work deepen. Since last year, some unique tea bowls have been created, and I sympathize with their attitude of not losing sight of their original passion despite their age. I haven't yet seen the works being exhibited, but thanks to Takashi Yasuda's generosity, we are able to hold this exhibition, and I hope that many people will come and see it. Seizo Hayashiya |
