Bowl by Nishinaka Yukito 西中千人作 Although glass is his primary medium, Nishinaka Yukito draws inspiration from a technique most commonly used in ceramics: kintsugi. Kintsugi is a repair technique that joins broken pieces of ceramic together with lacquer. Gold dust is applied to the lacquer before it fully hardens, thus highlighting the crack lines as objects of beauty. In his Yobitsugi series, Nishinaka intentionally breaks his glass into shards before joining them together in surprising and evocative forms.

【見て学べる京町家ツアー　1/18開催】 　 町家のファンの方も町家のことを知らない方も、毎回とても楽しんでいただき、大好評を得ているツアーです！ 　 町家の構造について大塀づくりの町家で学んでから、実際に内部を見学。その後、徒歩数分の新築の町家の建築現場にも足を運びます。 　 　 ●参加したお客さまの声● 建築関係に携わっておりますが、なんとなく知っていることを、実際に実物を目の当たりにして、楽しませて頂きました。新築の町家の上棟時の見学会、町家の勉強会等、また、メールでご案内頂けると幸いです。 （I.Fさま） 有意義なツアーに参加させて頂きまして、ありがとうございました。同僚にも勧めたいと思います。町屋は、100年建築なので、長い目で見ると決して高くはない価格になると思いました。外国人が、祇園の町屋を借りて住んでると言う事も聞きますし、伝統建築に対する概念がより一層、現代と連なっていると実感した一日でした。また、機会があれば是非、参加させて頂きたく存じます。ありがとうございました。 （Y.Iさま） ＊申し込みフォームはこちら https://forms.gle/XB3ynDqKhjPu1Fib8 ※京都観光naviにも紹介されています。 https://ja.kyoto.travel/event/single.php?event_id=11253 #町家 #京町家 #町家が好き #町家のこと #町家のこと知りたい #京町家ツアー 祗園内藤工務店 @gion_naitou.kyoto

Vessel by Fukumoto Fuku 福本双紅作 Fukumoto Fuku combines luscious glazes and brilliant gold and platinum leaf and dust with matte, unglazed porcelain to create vessels and teabowls that are both functional and sculptural. Oftentimes, her vessels are composed of multiple sections, which she forms separately before attaching them with glaze. In the kiln, the glaze liquifies and the sections of the body shift, finding their own equilibrium and balance. In this way, her vessels are truly the result of a collaboration between the artist and her materials.

Basket by Fukunisi Ryōsei 福西良笙作 Fukunishi Ryōsei began bamboo basketry at the age of 56. Since then, he has developed his craft for more than two decades and has won many awards both in Japan and internationally. He prepares all the bamboo he uses in his baskets himself, harvesting the bamboo from near his home before drying them and heating them over low flames to draw out their natural oil. Each basket takes him about 6 months to complete.

Vase by Mizuno Takuzō 安藤日出武作 Shino wares, typically distinguished by thick, textured white glaze, originated in Mino Province in the 16th century. The glaze is composed of ground feldspar and a small amount of clay. The glaze technique was lost in the 19th century until the 1930s and 40s, when the ceramists Arakawa Toyozo and Katō Hajime recreated the glaze after careful study of historical examples. Today, many ceramic artists in Japan and abroad are drawn to the glaze’s satin luster.

Vase by Matsui Kōsei (1927–2003) 松井康成作 Having studied a variety of traditional East Asian ceramic styles, Matsui Kōsei was drawn to marbleized jiaotai wares of Tang and Song China. He created his works by folding multiple colors of clay together before shaping the clay into a vessel. This technique, known in Japanese as nerikomi, emerged out of thousands of years of experimentation. With their intricate patterns of marbleized clay, Matsui’s wares represent an epitome of the genre.

Basket by Katsushiro Sōhō (1934–2023) 勝城蒼鳳作 Growing up in a village in Tochigi, Katsushiro Sōhō spent his winters learning how to work bamboo from his father. His family farmed the rest of the year. He learned how to make bamboo baskets later in life, when he took jobs repairing old baskets by master basket weavers and attended monthly basket making workshops taught by Saitō Bunseki. As he began making his own baskets, Katsushiro Sōhō drew upon the awareness of nature he learned as a farmer. His works are both dynamic and organic.

Two tea containers by Hatakeyama Kōji (b. 1956) 畠山耕治作 Hatakeyama Kōji was born and raised in Takaoka, a city renowned for its tradition of metal casting. He creates his wares by casting molten bronze into molds, generally preferring simple, geometric shapes. After the form is complete, he uses a mixture of heat and patination to cause chemical reactions in the bronze, thus creating the vibrant and variegated designs on the surface of the metal.

Sake Cups by Ono Hakuko (1915–1996) 小野珀子作 Ono Hakuko’s works display her mastery of a technique called yūri-kinsai 釉裏金彩, or gold foil underglaze, which she learned from the Living National Treasure Katō Hajime (1900–1968). To create the stunning gold designs, delicate gold leaf is cut into shape and applied onto the surface of the ware, which has been glazed and fired. A needle is then used to carve finer details into the gold leaf. Once the design is finished, the gold leaf is fixed in place with a layer of clear or colored enamel and the piece is fired at low temperatures to prevent the foil from melting.

Vessel by Shōmura Ken 庄村健作 Shōmura Ken is the fifth-generation head of Bankō kiln in Arita, a town in northern Kyūshū famed for its porcelain production. Like the generations that came before him, Shōmura works with porcelain, a type of ceramic in which kaolinite clay is fired at such high temperatures that it vitrifies, or turns into a glass-like liquid. It is this vitrification process that creates porcelain’s unique strength and translucency. Shōmura finishes his porcelain wares with a variety of glazes, underglazes, and overglazes inspired by his study of textile dyeing.

Patinated Copper Vase by Io Kōichi 井尾鉱一作 Io Kōichi forms his simple and sophisticated metal objects using traditional hammer raising techniques. He works with a variety of metal alloys that have been part of Japanese metalworking tradition for hundreds of years, such as shakudō, an alloy made of between 4 to 10 percent gold and 90 to 96 percent copper, and shibuichi, made of one part silver and three parts copper. These various alloys have unique properties that can be brought to life by the niiro patination process, in which the metals are boiled in a chemical bath to transform the colors.
