The long-awaited solo exhibition of ceramic artist Masahiro Sakakura was held at Kakiden Gallery in Shinjuku, Tokyo, three years after his first solo exhibition in 2020. Masahiro is the heir to the historic pottery company “Sakakura Shinbei-gama Kiln” in Nagato, Yamaguchi Prefecture. While respecting the tradition of the Fukawa-Hagi style and earnestly engaging with the materials, he fully demonstrates the sense of form that he cultivated at the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts. He is one of the most notable ceramic artists working today, creating works that blend tradition and individuality in a perfect way. This exhibition featured approximately 120 pieces, including his latest works.
