About the Exhibition
Ryota Aoki has been attracted us by producing the potteries which matches “today”. He returns for a second time to KNAM Gallery with the brand new potteries which produced in his new wood-fired oven. This new series is Aoki’s new attempt to have a dialogue between fire and him. He has been working on cray and glaze, and finally he broke new grand with fire for this time.
Message
I have got new wood-fired oven this spring.
I have longed for producing Shino and Kiseto of Momoyama.
This oven helped me to produce satisfactory bowls of Shino and Kiseto.
I hope you enjoy the new world of Ryota Aoki.
