土に耳を澄ます

Listening to the soil

NagaoDaisuke

Ina in Shinshu.

In that quiet land

Miyata Haruka is alone

I continue to make pottery while facing the clay.

Making tableware

Not just from buying soil,

It starts when you enter the mountains.

With a small shovel

The carefully excavated raw soil

Stone particles and grass roots mixed in

It can also be difficult to handle.

However, it is precisely this "imperfection" that

Through Miyata's hands

To create beautiful vessels

It grows.



"Instead of trying to mold it the way you want, you let the clay take the shape it wants to take."


As the words say

The finished dish has

There's a rhythm that's like natural breathing

It is staying there.

Glazes are also made by burning plants and creating ash.

Ash glaze that he mixed himself.

For all processes

There is a lot of effort, time and quietness.

Among them, this "bowl"

A dish that will look great on your summer table.

Chilled boiled summer vegetables

Fruit with ice, somen noodles and edamame beans.

Just serve it

It's like the ingredients start to breathe.

Roughness and softness.

Simplicity and quiet elegance.

The strength of the earth

The delicacy of the maker blends together

This vessel is born.

Feel it in the palm of your hand

A slightly rough texture

A faint scene visible deep within the glaze.

The more I squint my eyes

Its appeal deepens.

In the midst of busy days

Just stop for a moment

Something you'll want to get your hands on.

That

These are dishes by Miyata Haruka.

Mr. Miyata's work is also available at the store.

The vessels

From Friday, July 18th

He is planning to hold his second solo exhibition.

This time too, from many vessels

Miyata-san's unique objects

Many will be exhibited.

To many people

A solo exhibition you should see

It looks like it will be.
