[REVIEW] Okinawan's unique craftsmanship around seven writers

Okinawa's depression has been delivered since March.

The rich sensitivity and aesthetics that are nurtured only because of the land of Okinawa, which has its own history, culture, and nature is a source of unique works.

If you turn it over, if you look at one work, you will be able to rediscover the charm of Okinawa if you like each creator more.

 

I can't wait for the arrival of the summer season,

Members of Serendouce Crafts will review the seven creators they met in Okinawa.

 

 

#01 Koji Iki

One of the charms of Iki's work is that you can feel the culture and history of Okinawa, despite being a bowl that is close to modern life. "Mintama", which is one of the representative works, is a container that was baked in Okinawa before the 16th century in a kiln village called "Yuta ware" in Okinawa, and the soil that appears inside the vessel is revealed. Since the point hit on the part looks like a highlight, it is named "Mintama", which means the centerpiece in Okinawa dialect. The "Dyeing" series is a beautiful gem with blue that is clear on a beautiful white background.

One of the charms of Kinjo's work is the rich color that reflects the scene of Okinawa. The reason for making a colorful work dates back to the fact that a friend who is a school teacher asks him to take pottery classes. The bright colors would be more happy for the students, and when they prepared pink and yellow, the work that was accidentally made was very fresh. The masterpiece of coral blue vessels is a unique work with a bright blue and glittering texture. The user's feelings are brighter and positive.

A work of Mr. Yamada who was caught in a gallery in Yachimun no Sato, who holds a workshop. That's because the rich colors and bold brushes, including red paintings, are blowing energy into the work. He says that what is inspired is in the nature of Okinawa. "I think that the people in Okinawan living with nature are unconsciously stuck with such a sense of color, and they are naturally influenced. Basic. " The work is condensed with the power of Okinawan nature.

Iguchi's vessel is a vivid cobalt blue, a pattern that is dyed with the creativity, and a simple and modern form that is sharpened. What Iguchi is strongly aware of as a stage to spread the vessel is the dining table. The bowls in the hands of a bowl are thinner than the general Yachimu, and I feel that it is a "light and easy -to -hold vessel". There is a compassion for the user of the vessel, who wants to please those who make cooking and feel comfortable eating and feeling comfortable.

Colorful colors, bold lines, and delicate patterns include creativity that resonates with the heart. It is said that it is your job to express creative elements that resonate with your heart, rather than pursuing the ease of use of the vessel. You can put small items as well as as a bowl to cook. I want you to use it as you like. The design, which is based on the experience of touching everyday life from wandering experience in Asia, teaches the excitement of the fox.

#06 Oshiro Kobo Masafumi Oshiro

Despite producing a sake jar that store Awamori, Oshiro has opened the path as a potter because of the feeling of free expression by pottery. Oshiro's work is full of individuality, such as vivid colors, beautiful painting lines, and unique textures created by the contrast between matte fabric and glossy painting. You can feel the love of Okinawa through the work, such as using the traditional pattern of Yachimun, the mud called "Kucha" that can be taken in Okinawa as a glaze.
