"Colored Near-Colored Paradise Bunkaxu's Dream Day Vessel"

It is a coined word that means "everyday vessels that depict the paradise seen during a nap in a diary-like manner using recent colors," but I have never seen paradise in my dreams. There are various depictions, but perhaps if you can expand on the image as you like, using the message that you feel from the combination of ordinary shapes and colors, that is the paradise of joy.

Shortly after I started making pottery , I was given a venue to exhibit my work at Savoir Vivre , and while I received various pieces of advice about life from Ichiro Miyasaka and Kyoko Toyama , I wandered the world like a prodigal. After both of them passed away , the gallery also began a new beginning , and it feels strange to find myself back in the same place 40 years later .

Compared to my seniors in life, I am still at an age where I am still immature , so it is too early for me to start working on works that seem mature . Instead , I would like to devote myself to creating works that express the same feeling of starting something new, as I did back then .
