Maruhiro Book Launch Event

Finished

In 2020, Maruhiro celebrated the 10th anniversary of the launch of brands " Hasami" and "Baba Shoten (now Barbar)." The "Maruhiro Book" commemorates the 10th anniversary and summarizes Maruhiro's history. With art direction by Takahiro Yasuda (Cekai) and editing by Yu Sakurai (Tissue Inc.), the book has a unique binding and a total of over 700 pages.

This exhibition will celebrate the book's completion and showcase Maruhiro's pottery archives of the past ten years. Also on display will be previously unreleased new pieces and "Stones," a collaborative item between Takahiro Yasuda and Maruhiro created for this book. "Stones" are stone-shaped figurines made of next-generation ceramics using AGC Corporation's new "Brightorb®" 3D printer ceramics powder.

Other items on display include “Mandala Limited," a one-of-a-kind painted item created using a variety of techniques and patterns developed through trial and error; "Trace," a new piece created after conducting in-depth research on the Amakusa ceramic stone used to make porcelain; a shoebox-shaped pottery "Ceramic Box;" and a space shuttle-shaped pottery "Ibako."
