和歌山県天野にて薪窯焼成の器を制作される森岡成好さんの展覧会を開催いたします。森岡さんは土や釉薬となる素材の採取に始まり、10日間にもわたる窯焚き、それに伴う薪割仕事など、制作に関わる全ての工程を一貫してご自身で行います。低温でしっかりと焼き締められた器は奥深い色合いと素朴な力強さ、自然の生命力を宿しています。今展では種子島の土を用いて制作した南蛮焼〆の他に、飯碗・徳利・ポットなど、日常使いの器を多数出展いただきます。どうぞご高覧ください。

We are pleased to present an exhibition of Shigeyoshi Morioka, who produces vessels fired in a wood-fired kiln in Amano, Wakayama. He consistently carries out all the processes involved in the production of his vessels by himself, starting with the collection of clay and glaze materials, firing the kiln for 10 days, and chopping the wood for the kiln. The vessels, fired at low temperatures, have deep colors, a simple strength, and the life force of nature. in addition to Nanban-yaki (Southern Barbarian style) ceramics made from Tanegashima clay, there will be a wide variety of everyday items such as rice bowls, sake bottles, and teapots on display.
