-
Exhibition design of ASAHIYAKI, a potter who has been making pottery in Uji, Kyoto for about 423 years.
The exhibition was held at Koshoji Temple, which has a deep connection with Asahi Pottery.
Along the road leading to the temple, there are many places related to the base of ASAHIYAKI and its story,
The Uji River that symbolizes the city, the abundant nature, tea, and the people who have continued to make pottery and vessels,
The people who have been engaged in pottery and tea making, and the ties spun by tea. These elements are harmonized in the city of Uji like a biotope.
The exhibition was composed in such a way that the vessels, symbols of the relationship, Mirror representing water, and history, harmonized within a single circle.
Mirror and acrylic showing the back of the elevated stand, the key to the vessel.
With fixtures made of bamboo and light sources,
with an image like a biotope or a vital petri dish,
The space represents a 423-year relationship that transcends time and space.

京都・宇治で約423年作陶を続ける窯元、朝日焼の展示デザイン。
朝日焼とゆかりの深い興聖寺での展示。
寺へと続く道には朝日焼の拠点や物語にまつわる場所が多くあり、
街を象徴する宇治川、豊かな自然、お茶、そして器と作陶を営み続けてきた人、
茶により紡がれた縁。それらの要素が宇治の街の中で調和したひとつのビオトープの
ように感じられました。縁、水を表す鏡、歴史の象徴である器がひとつの円の中で調和する展示構成としました。
器の要である高台の裏が見えるミラーとアクリル。
竹と光源を用いた什器で、
ビオトープや生命的なシャーレのようなイメージで、
時空を超えた423年の縁を空間の中に表しました。
