Description

Tao Akira’s “Sitting” (Koshikakeru, こしかける) is a sculpture in which his characteristic geometric aesthetic language is clearly recognisable. Individual components come together to form a unified composition that can be read differently depending on its orientation — either standing upright or resting on one of its side facets.

Made from Shigaraki clay and fired in a wood kiln, the work shows pronounced yōhen (kiln effects, 窯変). Ash deposition is strongly present, forming an almost eruptive layer across the surface. In zones of intense heat, koge (焦げ), a subtle carbonisation, also becomes visible, adding further depth and variation to the material surface.

“Sitting” unites material tradition with formal freedom: the clay and wood firing anchor the work in Shigaraki, while its constructed form deliberately moves away from it. The arrangement of geometric elements recalls the avant-garde Sōdeisha movement, which in the 1950s radically challenged the traditional function of ceramics in favour of sculptural, autonomous objects (“objet”).
Despite its sculptural presence, the work nevertheless remains a vase — and thus part of the fundamental Japanese understanding of ceramics as inherently functional.

The sculpture is delivered in a signed wooden box.

 

TAO AKIRA

Tao Akira, originally from Nagasaki, combines geometric, freely constructed forms with the tradition of wood firing in Shigaraki, his artistic home. His sculptural “objects” represent an independent, contemporary position beyond the conventions of classical tea ceramics.
