[Special Project] Two special exhibitions will be held at SUPER ART & CRAFT MARK ET!

A special exhibition by four contemporary Bizen ware artists will be held

This exhibition features works by four contemporary artists who challenge tradition from different perspectives of "materials," "expression," and "technique." Facing the fundamental materials of earth, water, and fire, the artists explore the future of pottery, moving back and forth between memory and renewal. This exhibition touches on the spirituality and possibilities of Bizen ware.

This will provide many visitors with an opportunity to learn how open Bizen ware is and how it continues to take on new forms.

“Re:discovery — from seed to form by START Box × MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025”

"Re:discovery — from seed to form," a joint project between START Box and MEET YOUR ART FESTIVAL 2025, will feature works by four young artists who have been active at START Box, a facility that uses vacant shops in metropolitan housing as a creative space for artists seeking a place to create. The works will explore the budding creativity of the artist through contemporary reinterpretations and re-editing of memories and physical sensations rooted in culture and local climate.

Featured artists: Junko Awatani, Ryo Ogata, Tomoki Kanamaru, Yuki Nonoyama
