In the exhibition titled “Utilitarian,” we bring together a variety of works of varied forms and functions created by the artist to date, beginning with iconic kettles and teapots. Works including LEGS, which features openwork carving applied to the main body, as well as new pieces that have been reworked and reconfigured, are scheduled to be presented. Each piece is characterized by possessing a beauty that, at first glance, resembles an objet d’art, while also retaining practicality.

- Reservations will be determined by lottery. If you wish to apply, please review the notes and submit your application via the reservation form below during the application period.
