Chie Kobayashi creates white porcelain vessels inspired by natural forms. In recent years, while studying both the Japanese tea ceremony and Chinese tea culture, she has been dedicating herself to crafting vessels specifically for tea. In everyday life, a vessel quietly accompanies its user when in use and stands like a sculpture when at rest. With this vision in mind, she brings her works to life. For this exhibition, she presents a new approach with hand-painted designs. The collection includes a variety of pieces, such as Chinese teaware from her “Mushikui” (insect-eaten) series, teacups and saucers, and plates. We invite you to explore her latest creations.
