Rework Series
古い器が好きです。何度も使い、眺め、手触りを確かめ、そのまま写すのではなく、その物の中の気に入った部分だけを取り入れて器にするシリーズ。
Rework Series
Certain old vessels refuse to let me sleep; they take hold of my imagination. Through repeated use and close observation, I study their form and feel. This series is not about imitation. It is about extracting the essence of what I love and giving it a new shape.
御深井焼のぐい飲み
おそらく元は向付だったと思われるぐい飲み。そもそもぐい飲みの起源は向付に酒を注いで飲んだという話も聞いたことがありますが、この杯のいいところは酒が美しく見えるところ。横に垂直に伸びた口辺がまるで、絵画や写真におけるフレーム（額）のような役割をしています。
A guinomi (sake cup) made of Ofukai ware.
This guinomi was likely originally a mukozuke (a small dish served with the main meal). I have heard that the very origin of the guinomi stems from people pouring sake into mukozuke dishes to drink from them. What makes this cup truly wonderful is how beautifully the sake looks inside it. The rim, extending vertically and straight to the side, creates a framing effect—acting much like a frame (picture frame) in a painting or photograph.
御深井焼のぐい飲みをサイズアップしてコーヒーカップに作り直しました。
コーヒーをとても美しく眺められます。
Coffee Cup Redesigned from an Ofukai-Ware Guinomi
I upsized an Ofukai-ware guinomi and remade it into a coffee cup. You can look at the coffee and appreciate its beauty.
汽車土瓶
この杯のリム部分は蓋物の合わせ目と相性がいいです。
湯のみが蓋になった土瓶。取っ手部分も簡単に外せて、コンパクトに収納できます。
昔ペットボトルなどがない頃、汽車の中でこういう土瓶でお茶を販売していて、その形がとても機能的で美しく感じてました。

紙に漆を塗って作られた皿。とても不思議な素材感。重厚な見た目に反して驚くほど軽く、艶のある黒色と輪花のデザインとの相性がいい。色やテクスチャの印象は強くハードな反面、輪花のデザインが可愛らしいく重さと軽さ、強さと可愛さ、相反する要素がとても愉しい皿。
A plate crafted from lacquer-coated paper.
It possesses a truly unique and intriguing texture. Despite its substantial, weighty appearance, it is surprisingly lightweight—a quality that harmonizes beautifully with the rinka (flower-petal) design.
While the bold colors and textures project a rugged impression, the floral silhouette adds a touch of charm. It is a piece that achieves an exquisite balance between opposing elements: weight and lightness, strength and sweetness.

重厚な印象と実際の軽さ、強いテクスチャとリム部分の可愛さ、相反する要素を込めて作りました。
I created this piece to embody the essence of the original lacquerware masterwork: the interplay between a stately appearance and its actual lightness, and the fusion of a bold texture with a carefree charm. It is a work where these contradictory elements reside in harmony.
井戸麵鉢
Ido Noodle Bowl (Joseon Dynasty style)
井戸麺鉢
麺鉢としてたいへん使いやすくまた中の食材を美しく見せてくれます。見込みがやや平らになっていて、内側は台形に近い。食材をたっぷりと受け止めてくれる形です。おそらく昔は麺だけでなくビビンバの様なご飯ものにも使っていたのではと思います。何を入れても受け止めてくれる万能の形。
The Ido Noodle Bowl As a vessel for noodles, it is remarkably functional, framing the ingredients within with effortless beauty. The interior transitions into a gentle, flat expanse, giving the bowl a broad, trapezoidal depth. It is a form designed to hold food with abundance. One can imagine people of the past using it for noodles and bibimbap alike—a timeless, universal shape that graciously accepts any meal it holds.

鉄塊のようにで、 手に取ってみると土らしい優しい触り心地です。
While faithfully replicating the versatile form of the original masterwork noodle bowl, I have finished this piece to resemble a solid block of iron. To the touch, however, it possesses the natural softness of clay, offering a gentle and comforting tactile experience.
