| Introduction Introduction |
岡田泰氏は、江戸時代より200年以上続く萩焼の伝統ある岡田窯の9代目で、萩の土のもつ新たな可能性を追求する、いま最も期待される若手陶芸家の一人です。 東京造形大学彫刻科を卒業後、京都で陶技を習得し、父である裕氏に師事します。 平成25年には菊池ビエンナーレ奨励賞、平成27年には日本陶芸展優秀作品賞・毎日新聞社賞、令和元年には現在形の陶芸 萩大賞展Ⅴ優秀賞を受賞します。
精進料理には酸味・苦味・甘味・辛味・塩味の五味の他に淡味という言葉があります。 あっさりした味で、素材の持ち味を損なわないという精進料理の基本です。 泰氏が作り出した淡青釉(たんせいゆう)も、土味を生かしつつ、日本海の清涼感のある淡い水色を醸し出しています。
今回の「淡青釉面取花入」は、丸みを帯びた独特な造形美で、泰氏の主張しすぎないやさしさを感じます。 また、上の写真の「白釉窯変灰被茶盌」は、手取りのよい三角の形で、灰被りの状態もよく、これまでにない侘びの世界を表現しています。

| Artist in the gallery day Date Artist in Gallery | I plan to be at the gallery every day during the exhibition period. *Please note that due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a possibility that my schedule of being present at the gallery may change. |
| notice Notice | ■ Measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 To ensure that all visitors can enjoy their time at the gallery with greater peace of mind, we will be implementing the following measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and we would appreciate your understanding and cooperation. 1. A request to our valued customers We have placed alcohol-based hand sanitizer at the entrance of our gallery and the building. We kindly ask that you disinfect your hands upon arrival. Please wear a mask whenever possible when you go out. Currently, if you have a fever or are feeling unwell, we kindly ask that you refrain from visiting the gallery. If you have visited a doctor or taken medication for fever or a cold within the past two weeks, or if you have traveled abroad, we kindly ask that you refrain from visiting the gallery. To help reduce crowding in the store, we kindly ask that you visit in small groups whenever possible. We regret to inform you that we will be temporarily suspending our tea service, which we normally offer to our customers, including the gyokuro tea. 2. Our gallery's initiatives We will be taking extra care to ventilate our gallery. In addition to using exhaust fans, we will keep the entrance door open at all times. We will further strengthen our daily cleaning procedures. We regularly disinfect with alcohol on frequently touched surfaces such as elevator buttons, tables and chairs, entrance door and toilet handles, brushes and pens, even during business hours. If our gallery becomes crowded with many visitors and we determine that it is in a state of "three Cs" (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings), we may ask you to limit entry to our gallery. Our gallery staff will wear masks (but they'll be smiling underneath! ^^), and will thoroughly monitor their temperature and health while serving customers. We sincerely look forward to your visit to our gallery. |
