In celebration of KYO AMAHARE’s second anniversary, the exhibition on the second floor will feature the works of ceramic artist Yuka Ando, under the theme “Fragments.”

“Until now, I’ve only chosen and presented finished pieces as my works. But recently, I’ve come to feel that the unfinished forms — the fluctuations born from trial and error — are what truly reflect who I am today.”
— Yuka Ando

Once striving for perfection, Ando stepped away from ceramics for a time. Yet, even in what she herself may see as incomplete, we find a quiet beauty born from her inner fluctuations. It is precisely this delicate tension — these fragments of memory formed along her creative path — that will gather within the space of KYO for this exhibition.

On Friday, November 21st, we will also host a tea gathering titled Danpen, where guests will have the chance to share tea with Ando herself. We warmly invite you to join us — both for the exhibition and the tea gathering — and experience the gentle resonance of imperfection and becoming.
