和楽展 -Arts & Crafts-
⭐️WADO PROJECT
Acting as a bridge between Japanese artisans and Hong Kong audiences who love Japanese arts and crafts, WADO PROJECT would like to present excellent ceramic tableware by HANASAKA craftsmen from Komatsu city, Ishikawa prefecture, and selected ceramic and glass works by three individual artists from Tajimi city, Gifu prefecture and Seto city, Aichi prefecture.
HANASAKA is a ceramic tableware brand established by craftsmen of Taniguchi Seidosho who have been producing soil of Kutani porcelain as a new attempt to focus on emphasizing character of soil itself. Traditional Kutani porcelain is usually known as its beauty of over glazed and painted decoration; however, HANSAKA craftsmen try to apply their skill to create something new and original, inspired by nature of the soil itself, absolute foundation of Kutani Porcelain. “Blan” and “Canvas” series we present this time are very transparent in white and finely smooth and thin porcelain of liquor glasses and plates. They are all handmade by craftsmen,
Misa Mizuno, Youhei Nagakusa, and Nagisa Shirai are up and coming young artists based in Tajimi city, Gifu prefecture and Seto city, Aichi prefecture. It’s very first time for them to show their works in Hong Kong and they are happy to exhibit their unique works of drinking vessels like sake cups and flower vases and tea bowls. Misa Mizuno has her glasswork studio in Tajimi city and creates drinking vessels of beautifully colored mosaic glasses.
