\nSixteen Generations September 2024<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sixteen Generations centres on tea bowls inspired by the sixteen generations of the Asahiyaki kiln which was founded in 1600, next to the Uji river in Kyoto prefecture. These stunning new works and other ceramic pieces have been selected by Matsubayashi from wood firings over the last two years.<\/p>\n

Matsubayashi Hosai XVI (1980-) apprenticed with his father and also followed in his ancestor\u2019s footsteps when in 2015 he went to work as the artist in residence at the Leach Pottery, just like Matsubayashi Tsuronosuke (1894-1932), who was invited by Bernard Leach and Hamada Shoji to rebuild the St Ives kiln in the 1920s. Sixteen Generations celebrates the centenary of Tsuronosuke\u2019s trip to England. Matsubayashi Hosai XVI has shown in private galleries in Paris, New York, Taipei, Singapore and Shanghai as well as museums such as the Guimet Museum of Oriental Art in Paris, Kyoto Museum of Crafts and Design and the National Museum of Wales which has acquired his work. Based on the aesthetic ideal of \u201cKirei Sabi\u201d (Beauty and Simplicity), Matsubayashi has reinterpreted his predecessors\u2019 techniques and developed his own distinctive Geppaku blue glaze which he uses in a bold new way.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-7-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
