| Introduction Introduction |
We are pleased to announce a group exhibition featuring eight up-and-coming artists. Each of the eight artists, working in ceramics, glass, metalwork, and lacquerware, possesses a unique style, with no two pieces having the same form, color, or material. However, upon holding their works in my hands and examining them closely, I sensed a shared tension and dynamism in all of them, and these resonated deeply with me. This is our gallery's first attempt at an eight-person exhibition. We would be delighted if you could come and see it during this season when young ayu fish are dancing. Takashi Yasuda, owner of Kakiden Gallery |
