From the owner
Ceramic artist Haruka Miyanaga continues to pursue his own quest to visualize and structure the hollow structure based on the hypothesis that the essence of the pottery shape is the hollow structure.
The shape creates a spiral trajectory from the flexible molding concept. The innovation of technique gives rise to a unique organic form, and the ventilated "words" from that form lead to the next quest.
