日々の暮らしの中で、気がつくといつも手に取っている —— 林拓児さんのうつわについてそんな話をよく耳にします。

林さんは、焼きものの街 瀬戸で、窯業を営むご実家のもとに生まれ育ちました。幼い頃から多くの焼きものに囲まれ、ときにはその反発からか陶芸から離れた時期を経ながらも、瀬戸という土地の風土や、古い時代の焼きものに自然と影響を受けてこられました。

瀬戸の古陶や御深井焼、さらには南宋の青磁など、日本のみならず異国の古い焼きものにも惹かれ、そのイメージから生まれた作品が数多くあります。古き良きものの趣を汲みながらも、どこか新しく、すっきりとした佇まい。現代の私たちの暮らしに自然と馴染み、日々の食卓に寄り添ってくれるうつわです。

定番の貫入や黒釉はもちろん、ご自宅の裏山の赤土を混ぜて作られたという、今回ご案内状にも掲載した焼締のような風合いをもつ化粧土のうつわなども並びます。趣があり、身近な存在でいてくれる林さんのうつわです。ぜひこの機会に、足をお運びください。

Takuji Hayashi was born and raised in Seto, one of Japan’s historic pottery towns, in a family that operated a ceramics business. Surrounded by pottery from an early age, there were times when he distanced himself from ceramics, perhaps out of a sense of resistance, yet he was naturally influenced by the culture of Seto and by ceramics from earlier eras.

He has long been drawn to old Seto wares, Ofuke-yaki, and even Southern Song celadon, as well as antique ceramics from beyond Japan. Many of his works are inspired by the imagery and atmosphere of these historical pieces. While carrying the charm and spirit of old wares, his vessels also possess a refined freshness and clean simplicity. They blend naturally into contemporary living and quietly accompany the everyday table.

Alongside his signature crackled glaze pieces and black-glazed works, this exhibition will also feature vessels made with a decorative clay blended with red earth taken from the mountain behind his home. These pieces, also featured in the exhibition announcement, have a texture reminiscent of unglazed yakishime ware.

Hayashi’s vessels carry a quiet depth while remaining familiar and approachable in daily life. We warmly invite you to visit and experience them in person.
