| Introduction Introduction |
On a hot August day, I headed to Setouchi City in Okayama Prefecture to visit Ms. Takashima.
Takashima was born in Hokkaido, and after graduating from university, he decided to pursue pottery and became a disciple of Jun Isezaki, a Living National Treasure of Bizen ware.
After becoming independent, he proudly received the Encouragement Award in the "Tea Ceremony Ceramics Division" of the "Contemporary Ceramics Encouragement Award Chugoku-Shikoku" exhibition, hosted by the Japan Ceramic Society (@the_japan_ceramic_society). In recognition of this honor, he held his first solo exhibition at our gallery in 2022, where his works, with their dignified firing style, proved popular, and his courteous customer service also earned him applause from ceramic enthusiasts.
Getting back to the story, in Takashima's small workshop, where a single potter's wheel and works in progress were crammed together, I enjoyed delicious Shine Muscat sweets and cold tea while having a lively conversation with Mr. Takashima about all sorts of things.
Despite being only 33 years old, I was deeply impressed by his positive attitude and strong convictions towards pottery making.
Now, for this exhibition, our gallery's second, we will be exhibiting approximately 150 items, mainly tea ceremony ceramics, as well as sake vessels and other tableware.
