Shinroku kiln pottery class

Pottery is completed from the natural blessings of "soil and fire", and in Kyoto, where raw materials are not produced, order-to-order production is the main, and we have used the blessings of nature carefully without making many things in small quantities. 　 Based on that philosophy, we value nature and strive to produce easy-to-use pottery that is friendly to people. Also, when my grandfather started making pottery, it was also a thriving period of folk art movements, such as Kanjiro Kawai and Shoji Hamada, who were seniors of the university, and still combines the grandness and simplicity of `` folk art '' and the elegance of Kyo ware. I try to make pottery. Shinroku Kiln's original "Pelican Teapot" (registered trademark) is a teapot that can drain up to the last drop even if the size of the tea leaves is large, in order to make it easier to pour bancha, which is often drunk in Kyoto. It is a gem that has been made for half a century due to its uniqueness and ease of use. Recently, I have been working on a new PRELICAN series with the desire that people of all ages enjoy their tea time at home. Tea not only allows you to enjoy aromas and time to make tea, but also allows you to relax, refresh, and reset it. I would like to convey to the world how to enjoy Japanese tea. I would like to convey Japanese culture together with pottery. Life in the future is becoming an era in which not only economic value such as efficiency and quantitative production, but also human kindness and comfort, coexistence with nature, and social justice are required. In Kyoto, where raw materials are not produced, we have always produced small-scale production rather than mass production. Pottery is a supporting role, and cooking is the leading role. It is important how to enhance the cooking. I want to enrich my life, take root in people's lives, and make everyday dining tables fun, and deliver what people use every day is carefully crafted by human hands. . That's what I think.
