\u00b7Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

Takuro Kuwata graduated from the Ceramics Course in the Department of Fine Arts, Faculty of Arts, Kyoto Saga in 2001, and is currently a ceramist who produces works in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture.
The work, which combines various techniques cultivated in Gifu Prefecture, which has been producing pottery for a long time, with a modern sense, has the unique texture and color of Kuwata, giving it a unique presence.
In 2018, he won the "LOEWE Craft Prize 2018" special award, and there is a constant demand for works that are highly evaluated both in Japan and overseas, and it is said that there are conflicts as well as the joy of the artist.<\/p>\n

As a bookstore with the theme of art and Japanese culture, we have spent a lot of time talking with Kuwata from the desire to actively introduce contemporary ceramic art, which is one of the important arts of Japanese culture. And this time, from Saturday, July 9th, the "Takuro Kuwata" exhibition at Ginza Tsutaya Bookstore has been realized.<\/p>\n

In this exhibition, we will introduce Kuwata's characteristic colorful slipware (*) and new works using original techniques under the theme of "tea bowls". There are various methods of ceramic art, and the exhibition reflects Kuwata's desire to convey, ask, and share the methods to the viewer, and Kuwata, such as Kinsai and Shirokanesai, is now the most powerful. We will show you a new work that has taken on a new challenge with the technique we have put in.<\/p>\n

Please take a look at the attempt to expand the possibilities and concepts as well as the history and beauty of "tea bowls".<\/p>\n

* Slipware: A vessel whose surface is decorated with a slurry-like clay called slip.<\/p>\n
