"Tradition on Fire" Contemporary Japanese Ceramics from the Paul and Kathy Bissinger Collection
Viewed this exhibition yesterday at the Asian Art Museum, San Francisco, enjoying its original forms, immensely. Nagae Shigekazu Kawase Shinobu "Seiji"(Celadon) Fujino Sachinko (originally fashion designer, fabric dyer) Fukumoto Fuku, daughter of renown textile artist (Inspired by clouds, ice and moonlight), She says, "I don't like to force my own idea on the clay. Instead the form arises through interplay of actions and reactions between the clay and myself. An accumulation of emotion is recorded in the clay through working directly with the form ."
