Installation view of Floating Vessels: Stoneware by Mitsukuni Misaki at Ippodo Gallery

Floating Vessels: Stoneware by Mitsukuni Misaki
Closing Thursday, February 15, 2024

Showcasing over 30 of Misaki’s latest works, ranging from small vases to majestic containers, this exhibition at Ippodo Gallery explores the master ceramicist’s modern and hand-coiled forms and marks his return to New York after six years.
⁠
Misaki received training in four classical kiln techniques: kutani, uchiharano, aizu hongo, and bizen. This research guided Misaki to begin his own kiln in 1979, where he maintains his secluded and contemplative practice nearly half a century later.

Mitsukuni Misaki’s creations, reminiscent of the timeless ceramics of ancient civilizations, stretch out like a boundless horizon, inviting viewers to connect with the rich legacy of craftsmanship.  Be sure to visit and witness the evolution of Misaki’s artistic journey before the show closes tomorrow.
