A chain of events
The tree stores up energy during the winter and stretches out as it gets up.
The first special exhibition in four months is an exhibition of ceramic artist Ryuta Fukumura , who is also based in Fukuoka.
In stark contrast to the snowy days, the first day saw the sunlight shining upon everyone as if with arms outstretched.
It was a pleasant, sunny day, just like Fukumura-san's personality.
I was so happy to see the excited faces of our customers waiting in line outside the doors that I almost cried.
It was a time when everyone's enthusiasm was conveyed throughout the day.
Thank you for a fantastic start!
It may sound exaggerated, but what happens here seems like a miracle.
I felt that it was the culmination of the combined experience of everyone involved.
From the preview footage and dialogue that was shown before the exhibition,
I learned that a certain incident led him to pursue the freedom to create works of art.
From there, the "now" that is built on the many layers of experience unfolds before me.
An impressive collection of 350 pieces creates the scenery.
And for those of you who got lost and ended up in a remote location,
Having encountered this work, I will spend time with it with a feeling that only I can have.
Such a scene may also be a turning point for someone.
Coffee Uranno was open for the first two days of the exhibition.
We were treated specially too.
Not only do they roast and brew their own coffee,
The world that Uranno-kun, who values tools and manners, serves is best described as "Otemae."
He says that his current style was inspired by his desire to serve coffee in a sake cup that he met Fukumura a long time ago.
You can learn more about this in the upcoming Coffee Uranno Dialogues.
Next weekend, on February 27th (Sat) and 28th (Sun), a dinner party hosted by Sardexka awaits you.
There are still a few seats available, so if you're still undecided, just go ahead and take the plunge.
All dishes will be served on Fukumura's tableware!
The music played in this video is by Ota Miho.
It feels as if the creator is being inspired by this presence and joy flows throughout your entire body.
We are currently working on a new album, freshly recorded at Utsushiki.
I got to experience the creation of each song one by one,
I had the illusion of being rocked in a cradle and wrapped in security.
Please look forward to this release as well.
The opportunity for people to meet over the course of time is connected to their actions.
They are strung together like beads on a never ending string and are then applied to the next.
I hope that I can connect in this way with everyone who finds Utsushiki.
