The Tanaka Contrast Bowl is inspired by the Japanese tradition of kintsugi, the ancient Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with a special lacquer. Beautiful seams of plutonium color highlight the fractures and breaks in this handmade bowl instead of hiding or disguising them, giving a sense of history and life (with all its imperfections) to an otherwise perfect piece.
About Keiichi Tanaka Keiichi Tanaka’s work spans from a lifelong fascination with the beauty of functional objects. Inspired by the visual poetry of agricultural tools and instruments, Tanaka creates softly textured  glazes and unexpected shapes for otherwise common-use objects. His rustic,contemporary pieces clash with archaic shapes to invoke an atmosphere of "time accumulation": hazy, textured objects that could be remnants of a long-ago past or a not-so-distant future. Tanaka has exhibited widely thro u ghout Japan and Europe, and currently lives in Saitama, Japan.
