[In the midst of eternity](https://wamonoart.com/art/in-the-midst-of-eternity/) - This work exemplifies the living state of a particle which came from a larger whole, and which then started to have its own mind. - [Living in eternity](https://wamonoart.com/art/living-in-eternity/) - Kaneko explains that this work expresses “the steady state of living, which slowly continues to alternate since its birth and will continue to change.” A fascinating piece in which she expresses this state of changing, whilst using the medium of ceramics which will not change. Although the piece may seem fragile at first sight, Kaneko was successful in achieving steadiness as a piece while completing her own expression using well researched methods of numerous glazes and firings. - [Living in eternity II](https://wamonoart.com/art/living-in-eternity-ii/) - [SIGNA SHELL II](https://wamonoart.com/art/signa-shell-ii/) - [Flower bud II](https://wamonoart.com/art/flower-bud-ii/) - [Manifestation](https://wamonoart.com/art/manifestation/) - [Awakening](https://wamonoart.com/art/awakening/) - [Shell'17 - Extrication](https://wamonoart.com/art/shell17-extrication/) - Tanoue says that Shell is the image of being born from an egg and the image of the source of life is the blue of the sea. - [Shell'17 – Extrication](https://wamonoart.com/art/shell17-extrication-2/) - [Shell'18 – Extrication](https://wamonoart.com/art/shell17-extrication-3/) - [Sunrise Peak](https://wamonoart.com/art/sunrise-peak/) - [Ajiro plating morikago “Sea roar”](https://wamonoart.com/art/ajiro-plating-morikago-sea-roar/) - [Flower Bud](https://wamonoart.com/art/flower-bud/) - Flower Bud was made right before Okada set off as an independent artist and left his mentor, Jin Morigami. The work exemplifies his mind at that time as though a flower petal is blooming. Flower Bud was awarded the Oita prefectural governor prize at Lifestyle with Bamboo Art Crafts Exhibition, 2016. - [YOBITSUGI : ‘Beauty in Imperfection’ Flame](https://wamonoart.com/art/yobitsugi-beauty-in-imperfection-flame/) - [YOBITSUGI : Eternity](https://wamonoart.com/art/yobitsugi-eternity/) - [Hikumo (Sun & Cloud)](https://wamonoart.com/art/hikumo-sun-cloud/) - Tanaka is expressing the natural organic substances that we see flowing using iron forging techniques with fire and hammer. The Japanese title of this piece “Hikumo” is from the word “Hi” = fire from the iron forging process and “Kumo” = cloud like floating substance or state. The sound of Hikumo also synchronizes with the sound and feel of this piece. - [Sinru - Flow of Spirit #5](https://wamonoart.com/art/sinru-flow-of-spirit-5/) - [Sinru - Flow of Spirit #14](https://wamonoart.com/art/sinru-flow-of-spirit-14/) - [Sinru - Flow of Spirit #9](https://wamonoart.com/art/sinru-flow-of-spirit-9/) - [Voids](https://wamonoart.com/art/voids/) - [Tampopo Blowin' L#24](https://wamonoart.com/art/tampopo-blowin-24/) - [Broken Tulip, Apr. 25, 2018, t/18](https://wamonoart.com/art/broken-tulip-apr-25-2018-t-18/) - [Broken Tulip, Apr. 25, 2018, t/25](https://wamonoart.com/art/broken-tulip-apr-25-2018-t-25/) - [Broken Tulip, Apr. 25, 2018, t/16](https://wamonoart.com/art/broken-tulip-apr-25-2018-t-16/) - [Broken Tulip, Apr. 23, 2019, t/18](https://wamonoart.com/art/broken-tulip-apr-23-2019-t-18/) - [Calm sea](https://wamonoart.com/art/calm-sea/) - [Flow](https://wamonoart.com/art/flow/) - [Flower Vase "Ephemera”](https://wamonoart.com/art/flower-vase-ephemera/) - [Soaring into the sky](https://wamonoart.com/art/soaring-into-the-sky/) - [Woman](https://wamonoart.com/art/woman/) - After abundant research, Ike used straight thin Takehigo (bamboo strips) and created a lithe organic sculpture almost as though made by clay.

Ike’s original technique of mixing “Yahazu” with wide bamboo strips creates space surrounded by an impression of samurai armor. This expresses the calm state of one’s mind, but could also be translated as the spiritual state of nothingness. The curved arch on the underside also shows the flexibility of bamboo. - [Fountain](https://wamonoart.com/art/fountain/) - [Fountain](https://wamonoart.com/art/fountain-2/) - [Green Veil](https://wamonoart.com/art/green-veil/) - [Shell Dish Blue](https://wamonoart.com/art/shell-dish-blue/) - [YOBITSUGI : ‘Beauty in Imperfection’ Rock](https://wamonoart.com/art/yobitsugi-beauty-in-imperfection-rock/) - [Red Pool - Shippomon Vessel in Urushi and Hemp](https://wamonoart.com/art/red-pool-shippomon-vessel-in-urushi-and-hemp/) - Toki is an artist who creates without the boundary between tradition and innovation. This piece is made using Kanshitsu, a traditional method applying Urushi tree sap (natural lacquer) to the structure of hemp fibers. The resulting material is then laser-cut and the parts are connected using three-dimensional software and structures developed by Toki himself. It is beautifully composed of lacquer red and “lucky” pattern Shippomon - [Nunome - Shippomon Vessel in Urushi and Hemp](https://wamonoart.com/art/nunome-shippomon-vessel-in-urushi-and-hemp/) - It is a luckey pattern where circles are overlapping and connected. Kanji chinese character named Shippo is written as seven treasures, which is a Buddhist word that shows treasures such as gold, silver, pearls, agata, crystal, coral and lapis lazuli. It is a wish for family satisfaction and prosperity that such patterns should last forever. - [Ebisu](https://wamonoart.com/art/ebisu/) - Hiruko (later, Ebisu) was the very first god which made an appearance in Japanese myths, but faded over time. After a long time, however, the myth revived and Hiruko was worshipped by people as the god of Ebisu in various legends. Taniguchi, interested in this myth, challenged himself to visualize the lucky god of Ebisu. - [Sign](https://wamonoart.com/art/sign/) - Kizaki has been playing in the nature surrounding him since he was a child, catching insects, catching fish, picking greeneries and planting around his house. He would like to express the purity, strength and beauty of nature, and this piece embodies the time when a flower bud is about to bloom. - [Aspiration to Greatness](https://wamonoart.com/art/aspiration-to-greatness/) - This piece shows Ike’s aspiration to accumulate virtues and be of upstanding character. It uses both old and new techniques. The projections from the surface are made using an old technique called “Yahazu” but combining those projections together with wide bamboo strips is a new technical challenge. - [Kanru (Return of a current)](https://wamonoart.com/art/kanru-return-of-a-current/) - The Japanese title Kanru symbolizes the inspiration that Tanaka had in creating this piece which is an image of a current returning to its source.
