Yuji Ushiroseki is in the mountains on the border between Ibaraki and Tochigi prefectures, cutting down trees in the forest with a chainsaw and splitting the logs with a mace to make firewood. The firewood he dries is piled up and stretches out like the wall of a large mansion.
Although she may seem delicate at first glance, Ushiroseki's strong mental strength and concentration stem from her work in the forest, and she exudes the elegance of Momoyama-era pottery. She became a potter after sensing the mysterious power of tea bowls that continue to speak to her even after 400 years.
This October, the piping hot pieces that came out of the anagama kiln will be on display at Ginza Ippodo.
