Sculpture in the palm of your hand.
NagaoDaisuke
Quietly nestled in a residential area of Hirakata, Osaka
"SHOKKI" is born in the atelier
No potter's wheel is used, everything is hand-made
It is a ceramics brand that is shaped.
Its form is unrelated to mechanical uniformity.
Rather, it is "imperfect"
It embodies beauty.
The primitive technique of hand twisting
Therefore, the vessels that are formed
Everything has a different shape.
The silhouette that seems to break the balance
The firing process gives it a unique texture and shading.
Beyond the framework of a simple vessel
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a small piece of sculpture.
That "fluctuation"
It has a rhythm that can only be created by human hands.
Without trying to be eccentric
And yet somehow funny
An intimacy that makes you laugh.
The moment I got my hands on a SHOKKI piece
Before you know it, you'll be drawn in by the warmth.
The realm of art that is practical.
Gently accompany you at your daily dinner table
At unexpected moments, it exudes a presence as an art piece.
SHOKKI's tableware
Shows a new look every time you use it
It resonates with the user's sensibilities.
Now, crafts are attracting renewed attention.
I think it's because of products like this.
A small story that fits in the palm of your hand.
There is an appeal of individuality that cannot be found in mass production.
It is filled with the beauty of free thinking.
It looks as if it contains cracks in the earth's layers.
This vase is more of a time-saver than a container.
It is a contained sculpture.
The moment you touch it, the soil
It reminds me of the feeling of still being alive.
Soft distortion and matte texture created by hand twisting
and not intentionally controlled
Crack-like lines
──They are the intersection of nature and human activity.
It's like a quiet adventure in pottery.
As a flower vase
For example, dried flowers and
It pairs perfectly with wild grass.
As you can see in the photo, the movement of the leaf tips is impressive.
By inserting the plants in a rough manner,
It echoes the sculptural lines of the vase
A sculpture x sculpture composition is born.
Rather than arranging flowers
The feeling of completing an object.
Straight lines and curves, dryness and freshness intersect
Everyone's gaze is focused on that one point.
As an object
If you want to decorate your space
Place it on top of several art books.
It is effective to create a sense of height.
Add a plaster statue or a modern art frame in the background
Between natural and urban
A sense of tension is created.
The figure casts a faint shadow on the white wall
It's like a breathing sculpture.
SHOKKI's tableware
He simply refuses to be a "tool."
It is an extraordinary experience that is an extension of everyday life.
When liberated from functionality, vessels become poetry.
It brings a margin of silence to the space.
This vase deserves more than just perfect composition.
It's the freedom to enjoy the beauty of imperfection.
