A device woven by pottery, lacquer and silver foil#Masaaki Iwasa

When working as an apparel salesperson in Tokyo, Masaaki Iwasa decided to master the way to make things that were more interesting. At the gallery I stopped by, I was impressed by Bizen ware's virtue, and my interest in Bizen ware increased, and I entered the world of pottery in earnest.

"I want you to feel something through my work, as if I were greatly moved by the virtue of Bizen ware. In order to enjoy the aging of the work, the texture is silver, especially. I try to express it using silver foil. Unlike silver liquids like paint, silver foil can express subtle shades and have a wide range of expression. "

Ceramic lacquerware mainly by Iwasa is made by lacquered with ceramics. For this reason, we will match both the unique texture of the freedom of pottery and the unique texture created by applying lacquer. It is given a silver foil to create a texture.The background of using silver foil, which changes the texture over time, has the desire to be close to life and life.Inspired by bronze vessels excavated locally and made ceramics, etc.Mr. Iwasa values ​​the relationship with the community. For the work created by IwasaThe nostalgic San'in region may have affected it.

 

The flat plate and mini cups of silver color are perfect for Japanese and Western food. The luxurious silver foil quality and monotone color scheme make table coordination fun and enhance the dishes. How about enjoying a delicious and beautiful meal?

Sweets and side dishes on a rectangular dish.It is also recommended as a hospitality, as well as a dish that enjoys alone.How about tea time and evening drinks?

On the back of the mini cup, silver foil is applied to the front, and there is a deep beauty. Because the fabric is thin, it has a good mouthfeel as a drink, can be used as a small bowl for ice cream and side dishes, or a multi -use mini cup.
