Hello everyone. How are you doing in these humid, rainy days?
The rainy season has arrived in the Bizen region as well, with cloudy and rainy days continuing.
However, it is interesting that our pieces show a different side of themselves on cloudy days.
Perhaps the expressions of Bizen ware, which change constantly with lighting and sunlight, are even more variable than hydrangeas.
Recently, the Sanyo Shimbun released the "Bizen Ware Artist and Kiln Directory."
When it was released last time, it was a very substantial guidebook for contemporary artists and was perfect for beginners, leading it to sell out completely.
This edition includes many young, currently active artists, making it even more comprehensive as a Bizen ware artist directory than the previous one.
Yoshinobu Morimoto and Kenji Nakamoto, whose works we carry, are featured in this new edition.
It is a very impressive read, as it includes their interviews, career histories, and lists of awards.
We are selling it at our shop, so please feel free to inquire.
The price is 2,100 yen including tax, and shipping costs are separate.
We will ship via mail service; thank you for your understanding.
