An exhibition of works directed by Mr. Yukio Yoshida and Mr. Keigo Kamide, who lead two potteries representing Kutani ware.
At the Seiko House Ginza Hall, from August 31st (Thursday) to September 10th (Sunday), we will hold "Yoda's Gold and Kamide's Blue Nishikiyama Kiln x Kamide Choemon Kiln".
Nishikiyama Kiln and Kamide Choemon Kiln are representative kilns of Kutani ware. 100 years after the opening of the kiln, the paths of the two kilns intersect here for the first time.
Kinzan Kiln, which inherits the tradition of Kutani's Kinrande and tries a new expression of gold color, and Kamide Choemon Kiln, which expresses freshness with Shozuite's vivid blue dyeing, exchanged each other's base materials and painted. I made a work. At the same time, works that symbolize each pottery will be gathered together. The direction is Mr. Yukio Yoshida, the 4th generation of Kinzan Kiln, and Mr. Keigo Kamide, the 6th generation of Kamide Choemon Kiln.
Please take a look at this exhibition where two potteries and their successors compete across history and generations.
