“Pottery inspired by nature and nature discovered in pottery.”
The meaning of MADARA is "Speckled". A lot of ash has melted into a yellow mottled pattern. (It has a lot of ash, so it has a view of yellow spots that is not so common in this type.) The inner matiere is like Kiseto. An interesting view appears due to the dynamic firing. Madara Karatsu Chawan Size(cm)W11.2 H9.5 Kaoru KIMATA
There are mountains in the east, west and north of Kyoto. Therefore, the weather often changes. For me as a Tokyo person, Kyoto is ideal because I can easily go to the mountains. It takes more than an hour to get from the center of Tokyo to the mountains. Now I can walk to the mountains.
Kyoto city from Higashiyama You can see Kyoto Tower on the left. Kyoto station is also nearby. There is a temple with a big roof just to the right of Kyoto Tower. It is Higashi Honganji. The many buildings on the right are in the city center.

I improvised the entrance of the gallery by myself. At first I intended to make it gray, but suddenly I changed it to blue. And I concentrated like crazy and constructed it. Depending on your ingenuity, you can enjoy a mediocre space. At times like this, I think it is very important to have a rich heart.
I am grateful for the support of many people. The opening of the gallery has been delayed significantly, but I would like to open it as soon as possible.
