About

Kuriki Tatsusuke (1943–2013) was an artist who, after flourishing at the Asahi Ceramics Art Exhibition and the Nitten Exhibition, demonstrated a unique talent in the ceramic art world by devoting himself to his own viewpoint and theory of form. Illustrating his achievements where he explored the relationship between plasticity and form of ceramics, and attempted to reconstruct form by integrating decoration with structure, this exhibition will try to identify his clear approach to art and modern ceramics.
