Hello everyone, how are you doing?I would like to share information about an exhibition currently being held in Kojima, Kurashiki City.Until the 24th of this month, the "Setouchi Sochokai × Japan Ceramic Sculpture Association" exhibition is being held at the Former Nozaki Family Residence, a nationally designated Important Cultural Property in Ajino, Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture.In it, Master Gyokushu Kimura is unveiling for the first time works that apply indigo dye to white Bizen ware.It is said that they were perfected after much trial and error in honor of Kojima, which is famous as the birthplace of domestic jeans, and the fusion of Bizen clay—a product of nature—and indigo is said to create a remarkably beautiful color.We have also received a rare piece of intricate craftwork by Master Gyokushu Kimura, so I would like to introduce it as well.Venue: Former Nozaki Family Residence (1-11-19 Ajino, Kojima, Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture)Hours: Until the 24th of this month, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM; closed on MondaysAdmission: Adults 500 yen, Children (up to junior high) 300 yen; free for high school students on weekends and holidaysBizen Camellia BirdThis is not a ceramic sculpture, but a one-of-a-kind piece that falls under the category of traditional intricate craftwork.The lovely camellia and the heroic-looking bird form an interesting contrast, beautifully capturing a moment where the stillness of the camellia and the movement of the bird intersect.While his animal ceramic sculptures masterfully express the vitality and gestures inherent in the creatures themselves, works in the category of intricate crafts like this one capture a fleeting scene like a photograph—an expression that is, so to speak, like a super-realistic 3D photo, and the difference in how they are expressed as three-dimensional objects is fascinating.From the oily sheen and suppleness of the camellia leaves to the bird's feathers, which seem to move subtly in a gentle breeze, this is surely a masterpiece that demonstrates Master Gyokushu’s sharp powers of observation and high level of technical skill.(Gyokushu Kimura / Bizen Camellia Bird, with signed box) size: Width approx. 30cm x Depth approx. 20cm x Height approx. 30cm price: SoldFor detailed images and other information about the work, please inquire below.Tel 0869-67-2210 Fax 0869-67-2220Email to Kawaguchi Tourakuen (Clicking will open the email sending screen)To Kawaguchi Tourakuen Homepage

Bizen Camellia Bird
This is not a ceramic sculpture, but a one-of-a-kind piece that falls under the category of traditional intricate craftwork.
The lovely camellia and the heroic-looking bird form an interesting contrast, beautifully capturing a moment where the stillness of the camellia and the movement of the bird intersect.
While his animal ceramic sculptures masterfully express the vitality and gestures inherent in the creatures themselves, works in the category of intricate crafts like this one capture a fleeting scene like a photograph—an expression that is, so to speak, like a super-realistic 3D photo, and the difference in how they are expressed as three-dimensional objects is fascinating.
From the oily sheen and suppleness of the camellia leaves to the bird's feathers, which seem to move subtly in a gentle breeze, this is surely a masterpiece that demonstrates Master Gyokushu’s sharp powers of observation and high level of technical skill.
