MISHIM POTTERY CREATION

2025.2.26(Wed)-3.16(Sun)
POTPURRI Kiyosumi-Shirakawa

Objects shaped by many hands and hours begin stories that continue through use.
With that thought, the maker aims to create pieces that might one day become antiques.

MISHIM POTTERY CREATION works carefully with materials that change over time, making each piece with attention and patience.
The exhibition presented two collections: StiLL, with its classical forms, and fractal, combining bold, textured glaze with shapes inspired by European tableware.
A distinctive accent to bring into an everyday table setting.

On the afternoon of Sunday, March 2, 2025, visitors could see a demonstration of the maker's oil-treatment care for the featured pottery, along with examples showing how the pieces change through use.

Featured collections

StiLL

Precise relief inspired by picture frames is set against delicate, shifting colors reminiscent of watercolor. The contrast gives the collection its distinctive appeal.

Made in collaboration with Kashiwa pottery in Seto, the pieces are known for their matte texture and color.
Pressure casting in plaster molds produces the detailed forms, combining decorative relief with a defined, structured surface that is finished by firing.
Colorants normally used for underglaze painting are poured over the entire vessel, creating an unusual texture and depth of color.

fractal

Created with Hyozan kiln in Mino, fractal combines the bold, textured glaze known as kairagi with classical European-inspired forms.
The rough texture is created with a very thin application of glaze. As a result, the surface can absorb oils and food colors and develop stains.

The forms, textures and colors work with many different foods, from Japanese dishes to Western meals.
A plate that makes choosing how to serve a dish feel effortless.

If staining or discoloration concerns you, avoid oily foods. If you enjoy the changes that come with use, the evolving surface can become part of the piece's individual character. Follow the maker's care instructions for your item.
