Akihiro Nikaidou Pott=ry Exhibition 2018

~ Stamped Ceramic Coated With Lacquer~

At 40 years old, Akihiro Nikaidou is in great demand now.

Having exhibitions in Hong Kong and Taiwan, he is a popular artist even=in Paris.

This is his second exhibition at Sara in NY after just a year.

In Japan he leads the movement "Tou-ism" (Ceramic-ism) and=actively helps to make young artists known to the public. This coming November, a huge exhibition is scheduled at the Yokohama Red=Brick Warehouse.

## by Souheki Mori from Setsugekka (cont.)

Iimagine it is not easy, while making ceramics,he is planning and co=ducting events with people. He must be moved by a sense of mission.

Just like his stamped ceramic pieces, he carries forward his work patien=ly with couはesy.

A few days ago I received his new "stamped ceramic coated withlacquer" pi=ce.

It was a beautifulshape tea bowl.

After brushed white glaze on the top of the popular stamped surface, it=was fired right before the glaze melt, and then pol幡hed to make decora=ive patterns.

Then, it was given a coat oflacquer and fired again at alow heat

Such a moisturized texture I have never seen; the stamped pattern just lik= an ancient message underneath the layers of glaze and lacquer, what a=beautiful shape it is.

Several stamped ceramic coated with lacquer are expected to be t=e pieces at exhibition I hope you come to see his newest pieces.
