Makimasa Imai
Bizen Bowl with a circular pattern
This is a flat bowl with a circular pattern on the inside, made using Bizen ware.
This work was fired in a wood-fired kiln using traditional techniques, so the flow of the flames and changes in temperature have created subtle hues in the work.
The power of the natural wood flames has brought out the characteristics of the ceramic clay to the maximum, giving the work a deep finish.

Makimasa Imai
Makimasa Imai insists on firing his pieces in climbing kilns to create a deep, rich finish, and he travels 400 km from Kyoto to Takehara in Hiroshima Prefecture to fire. His artwork is designed to give a vivid and energetic feeling to the animals he creates, adding a feeling of vitality to the space they are displayed in.
Makimasa's father, ceramic artist Masayuki Imai, is a recipient of the Order of Cultural Merit, which is considered a high honor in Japan.
