This book is the official catalog for the exhibition "Kagoshima Mutsumi Every Day," which will begin at the Itami City Museum on June 30, 2023, and then travel around the country.
"Good morning. What day are you doing today?" "I have 20 plates to paint, and they'll be ready to go at 4pm." A day for ceramic artist Mutsumi Kagoshima begins by asking what he will be doing that day. After breakfast, I work on pottery. After lunch, I work on pottery. After dinner, I take a bath and then draw. I sleep, wake up, and then it's breakfast again.
Kagoshima Mutsumi creates tableware that brings happiness to someone's everyday life. By alternating the pieces, the warmth of each piece is revealed, along with the strength of daily handwork. The book also includes an interview recorded while spending a day together, from morning to night. This book allows you to feel the pottery-making process, the approximately 80 pieces, and Kagoshima Makoto's daily life, while also reflecting on your own daily life that continues into tomorrow.
