Hekizan II Challenge
Takatori ware from Toho village, Fukuoka, Japan
Hekizan II's challenge is how to respond to and propose making pottery inherited from his grandfather into the next generation. Takatori ware has developed coexisting with natural materials and found beauty from them. The theme of Hekizan II is to pass the craftsman's skills and ideas to the next generations with “preserving nature.”
He has the following four tasks to make it happen.
Awareness of values and aesthetics
Securing materials
The future of Takatori pottery as tea pottery; learning about tea ceremony
The disciple’s future with carrying their future
Next time, I would like to touch on the seemingly contradictory challenges between “preserving nature” and “securing materials.”
