Miyakono Yasuda
ancient sound
The natural world plays a natural music of overtones that settles our breathing and steadies our nerves.
On this spherical, spinning Earth, silent vibrations constantly stir our blood and bones and revitalize our cells.
I thought that something similar was happening in earthenware pots.
Something was being transmitted by earthenware for years and years.
I tried to measure their frequencies.
Large open-mouthed pots have a low frequency, while narrow-mouthed vases have a higher frequency due to their faster resonance.
It depends as well on the thickness, form, and quality of the clay.
The same is true for a tuning fork.
A low frequency produces a dull reverberation and a high frequency rings with a clear sound.
I think it’s the difference between use value and taste.
Leave water in an earthenware pot overnight and its resonance will send ripples through the water.
If I play a small harp above an earthenware pot, it becomes an amplifier.
If I bury a clay pot in the soil it will absorb the sound from above the ground, which is why it has found a modern use as soundproofing.
I choose stone as a conduit to receive the frequencies emanating from the soil.
When I shape an earthenware pot on a stone, I can hear the same sound that the ancients heard.
I think this is a good way to feel their rich and sublime spirituality.

We are pleased to present the fiest solo exhibition; Miyakono Yasuda “ancient sound”.
Miyakono Yasuda mixed the cray and soil around the Jomon ruins with plants from unique perspective.
The soil is formed by hand-twisting, and the work is fired by noyaki process.

COSMIC WONDER
Harmonic Meditation
The season when the water jug echoes the heavens
Beautiful dimensions ascend from the earth
Like myself and my true self
The sky and soil touch with light
Smiling angels and spirits rejoicing
Flickering all around like radiant stars
To bring all of life into harmony
Warmth rises up
Remembrances emerge from the past
New things made visible by the cosmos
According to the play of light
Take pleasure in the sight of art and clothing

Masaru Kawai
by trees
Furniture, flooring, dishes, or pencils that we usually see.
The trees used for them were originally grown in the mountains. Someone cut it, someone sawed it, and someone made it.
But do you fell there? What kind of mountain did you live on?
The Japanese view of nature changed dramatically after the 1964 Olympics. A line was drawn between people and nature.
And again, the Olympics are coming. I am scared.
I want to be by nature a little more if I can do it.

We are pleased to present the 3rd solo exhibition; Masaru Kawai “by trees”.
We live in the natural and live in symbiosis, in recent years we have done all things with the concept separated from nature.
And We feel the limit to that, and many movements to restore each view of nature take place among the artists active in the same period.
Kawai puts the concept of mountains, trees, and nature into a strong concept, and produces beautiful works that include mythical features such as offerings to the natural world.
In this exhibition, Kawai will present works that evoke the awakening of nature and universal beauty that all of us possess.
And also the works of the Japanese coniferous forest project SOMA.

Playing Wara with Chaguruma, Tea tools and Plants
Tea is a tree.
The tea planting of 1000 years of age, the origin of tea production in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan , was a tea plant that looked up.
The tea planting of Sichuan tea leaves in Chaozhou was a tea plantation.
Both the small round tea of Taiwan tea and the thin long tea of Chinese tea return to the shape of leaves at the time of tea.
The tea was a leaf.
When tasting tea, the aroma, taste, bitterness, astringency, and afterglow spread in the mouth.
The more you know about things related to tea serving manner, manners, tools, wabi, sabi, yin and yang, and tea, pretty deep.
Tea is a very interesting field with many elements to explore.
I want you to enjoy such tea lightly and to feel the taste of tea. How are you going? I have a good tea.
I served tea by “Chaguruma” which creates a place for tea outdoors regardless of the location.
I made “Chaguruma No.9”at last year. Also “Chaguruma No.10” at this year…
When I reconsider the tea as “Happening of Water, Leaf, Yang (fire) and Human”, I feel the margin of imagination. It seems like something can be done.
Is there anything to replace “Leaf”of “Happening of Water, Leaf, Yang (fire)and Human”with flowers, seeds, steams and roots?
What would happen if it were other plants than tea leaves? Feel various, try and return to tea, maybe…
In this exhibition, I’m pleased to present the pottery for roasting, toasting, baking, crushing, steaming, kneading etc…with a focus on Chaguruma and tea tools.

“Ryugu” Masonry Traditional Repair Work Course
We are pleased to present “Masonry Traditional Repair Work Course” with Jun Nishikawa of landscape coordinator and Kazuo Akao of repairing a masonry at Miyama, Kyoto.
We will rebuild the collapsed masonry and work on improvement around the masonry so that the masonry will not collapse in the future.
A year ago, when Nishikawa visited Yukinori Maeda’s atelier “Ryugu”, I consulted Nishikawa about the fact that the masonry was broken.
“I want to repair the broken masonry, I do not want to use concrete to solidify the masonry if possible…because the finish is natural and beautiful..it is environmentally friendly”.
“Old people did not use concrete… I want to restore it in the old way”. We repeated discussion with Akao about how to repair and how to maintain it.
As well as rebuilding the masonry, we will do repair work including the cause of the breakage, and we will disclose the basics of how to pile the stone and work to the local people and those who are in trouble.

Japanese handcrafted Baskets Part Ⅳ
Sinomenium acutum basket, Kagoshima Prefecture
Japanese handicrafts made with natural raw materials are an embodiment of appreciation, awe and respect for nature.
They reflect the traditional Japanese satoyama lifestyle that people and nature coexist sustainably. (In a satoyama, people typically forms a community (=sato) with farmlands, on the border of a forest (=yama). A forest is a resource for their living, being managed sustainably by sato residents.)
In such satoyama living, the art of livingware handcrafting has been passed along from generation to generation, producing practical and useful objects. They provide insights into a lifestyle in harmony with nature.
For this exhibition, Naoyoshi Maeda (Cosmic Wonder, Light & Will) sourced handcrafted baskets by visiting local craftspeople in various places from Akita to Okinawa.
Each of their work is unique and representative of the regions where they are crafted. Their rustic beauty attracts us.

yasuhide ono
Utsushiki
I am making jewelry using minerals, old materials that passed the time.
That piece produced by Mother Earth is a condensation of thousands, tens of thousands of years time
I wear a part of the earth
The origins of jewelry as a magical way rather than as an organizing purpose
It started as an amulet that protects us from foreign enemies
It was later used as a symbol of authority around the world
From there it became a decorative item until the present age
It was to measure differentiation from others to dress up
How was the meaning of things originally born
It was because the relationship between things was meaningful
It seems that its relationship has diminished in this modern era
I want to regain that relationship again
I an making it with such feelings
Act of knitting
One braid knitting is time volume
Respect for possible minerals
I can put it in one braid
To shave stones
To make it look more beautiful
The strength seen in the roughness of the gemstone is also
The translucency which looks delicate as it seems to be broken
The existence which combines the properties of both polarities
Melt the gold and make the mold and put the stone
It will sometimes walk together the life
It is not gorgeous
It is like raising a cuddling feeling for that person’s daily life
I would like to keep making such things.
Having a place where people and objects are connected
I moved the residence to the countryside
Produce in a place surrounded by nature
To the gallery that remodeled the poultry house of 80 years and worked as a studio is a place where old things and new things mix
Modern values of discarding to destroy when it gets old
You can still use it if you add a little
There is the history of the former owner and there is beauty that added time
I’m deeply aware of Japan while traveling the world
Distinctive values such as rustling and lonely
Postwar Japan seeks economic development
It continued to pursue its culture and values as aiming for the United States and Europe
But as a result it is losing aesthetic sense of your country
Western religious views seeking one god
Difference in religious view of Japan that finds God everywhere in the nature of 8 million gods
Oriental and Western culture, values, view of religion, aesthetic sense etc.
We recognize the difference between them and hybridize in various ways
Old items of foreign countries in a country are arranged side by side
Made using materials such as earth, wood, iron, paper, cloth, glass, plants
A place to express works created throughout the life of the producer
As a place to connect people and people,
People and things, things and things
I will continue to learn interesting and learn from now
I seriously dream about a bright peaceful future
And I want to have a love and a passion
love & happy & peace & freedom

“Chaguruma and form afterword and Tools of Tea”
Taking a cup of tea again, it seems to be an event of “Earth, Water, Leaves, Sun and Fire”, feeling fresh appeal to tea, I started to make teaware and tea pleasant tools and “Chaguma and subsequent forms and tools of tea”.
When I noticed, it seemed to me that there were a lot of clothing, food and dwelling “Earth, Water, Leaves, Sun and Fire”.
Among them, the role of fire and water is large, it is too wide to clean up with the word of natural material, it is natural, it feels difficult to see.
Therefore, I would like you to enjoy “Fire, Water and Plants”with tea and sweets during the exhibition.
