THREE GIANTS: Kamoda Shoji, Matsui


Kosei, and Wada Morihiro Joan B Mirviss, 15 to 24 March


Joan Mirviss’s taste in contemporary Japanese ceramics is well known and this year she is presenting works by Matsui Kosei (1927-2003), Kamoda Soji (1933-1983) and Wada Morihiro (1944-2008), major innovators in the scheme of 20th-century Japanese ceramics. Tis is the first exhibition outside Japan for all three of the clay artists on view, and each have a unique style


that has inspired future generations. Kamoda Shoji (1933- Continued on page 28

ceramic world toa new vision of the concept of 'function'. All the artists sequestered themselves away in the name of innovation: Matsui evolved his mastery of neriage (a careful combination of colouring clay) as a priest, while Kamoda and Morihiro sequestered themselves away north of Tokyo, as a means to search deeper into their craftsmanship, breaking away from conservative contemporaries and an emphasis on classical motifs. Each has their own technique that challenges as well as celebrates surface and form, with geometrics,


glazing, and rubbing techniques that have been esteemed
