Kota Tanaka is a ceramic artist based in Karatsu, Saga Prefecture.
He uses unrefined, locally dug clay and shapes his pieces with a traditional kick wheel.
His works are fired in two small kilns — an anagama (tunnel kiln) and a noborigama (climbing kiln).
“I feel like I've finally started making something good recently,” Tanaka says.
This will be his first solo exhibition at Momofuku in two years.
We invite you to take this opportunity to appreciate his work.

This season marks "Kokuu," one of the 24 solar terms, symbolizing the spring rains that nourish a hundred crops.
Yosuke Kojima from Iga, Mie Prefecture, creates ceramics with a deep commitment to local clay and minerals.
Keiji Okushima from Takashima, Shiga Prefecture, continues to explore the expressive potential of glass.
Inspired by the theme of "Kokuu," these two artists bring their unique sensibilities to their chosen materials.
We invite you to experience their creations.
On the opening day, Saturday, April 19th, there will be a tea ceremony featuring their works.
Please feel free to join us — participation is free of charge.
