with Anita Besson
I have hurriedly traveled in North America on October, 2005, starting from making a kiln in North Carolina, Workshop and Exhibition in Asheville, Exhibition in Atlanta, or Chicago, and so on.


The U.S. was founded only 200 years and several decades ago. American people took an interest in and paid their respects for 'Tradition' of ceramic art, because, I think, it doesn't have a long history.


A lot of young ceramics attended the workshop in North Carolina All of them were enthusiastic and eager to learn. Their earnest gaze expressed a strong will that they would build tradition in future.


Sofa Chicago is a worldwide event of art. Galleries and customers will gather from all over the world. Atmosphere of the hall got into swing, and you can see high level art here. My works were exhibited as those of Gallerie Besson. I was deeply moved and thought it honorable to be exhibited there. To feel the atmosphere of the event served as a stimulus to me. I recommend you to visit there if you have a chance.


I positively want to hold exhibitions and workshops in the U.S in future. Please be looking forward to hearing my report.
