Makimasa Imai

Divine Creature of Peace

This piece is a representation of a Qilin (a creature from Chinese mythology).
The Qilin is traditionally said to appear in times of peace, so I used it as a vivid expression of young strength hoping for peace.

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.
