宮下善爾作  「創世」|Genesis — Miyashita Zenji

Miyashita Zenji, born in Kyoto, was the eldest son of the distinguished porcelain artist Miyashita Zenju (1901–1968). By the early 1980s, Miyashita Zenji had developed his signature style of applying thin, fine layers of clay tinted in gradated hues of mineral pigment. His mature work was a modern embodiment of a classical Kyoto style associated with Heian-period (794–1185) multilayered court robes or decorated papers made for inscribing poetry.
