Shakunaga, who has created unique textures for his sculptures, brings these one-of-a-kind designs to his ceramics, resulting in truly original pieces.
While Shakunaga has shared his passion for sculptural works on numerous occasions, this is the first time he has delivered a more sculptural piece in the form of a vase to AMAHARE.
One of Mr. Shakunaga's signature works, "gen."
The surface, reminiscent of leather, gains even greater depth over time, drawing you in with its enchanting texture the more you observe it.
Inspired by the red planet, Mars embodies its essence through thoughtful craftsmanship.
Its unique texture shifts between chic and vibrant, depending on the light—resembling a planet floating in space.
"Aube" means dawn.
This piece evokes the essence of Japanese red. Depending on the user’s intention, it can serve as a striking centerpiece or a subtle supporting element in any setting.
When it comes to Shakunaga’s proud Unique Texture, it must be "âge."
There is no other material like it in the world; it truly has an original texture.
The "âge" collection, now enhanced by a new shape, is also part of this exhibition!
We look forward to welcoming you to our store, alongside Shakunaga’s works, as the sounds of winter begin to approach.
