Introduction
Introduction

Potter living by the river

Ken'ichi Iwase lives with his wife and daughter in a century-old house in the suburbs of Hachioji, Tokyo. Beyond the garden is a cliff, and the relatively wide Kita-Asakawa River flows nearby. He told me that early spring, when the leaves begin to sprout, is the time when he feels most at peace. I, too, felt that this was indeed the case when I first saw the house.
As in previous years, I have held solo exhibitions at Matsuya in Ginza, but although my works are carefully crafted, they lacked a certain appeal. Therefore, I have decided to make a fresh start and take on the challenge of creating tea ceremony ceramics at the Kakiden Gallery.
He has recently been enthusiastically participating in the tea ceremony I host, "Questioning the Present Regardless of School," and it seems that his feelings towards tea bowls are gradually deepening.
We would like to introduce to tea enthusiasts the kinds of tea bowls that can be acquired.
