1200客の茶碗による展示

波佐見焼の合同展示会での企画展、「めし碗展」の会場構成。波佐見の棚田をモチーフにめし碗をディスプレイしました。
このステージは、意匠的に段々になっているのと同時に、機能的に4台を1つにスタッキングでき、持ち回りを可能としています。カラフルな1200客のめし椀によるインスタレーションのような会場デザインとしました。

This exhibition uses 1,200 rice bowls made in the town of Hasami in Nagasaki Prefecture of South-Western Japan. Well-known for its porcelain production from historical times, each rice bowl has a unique color and design that exhibits the creative spirit of the craftsmen of the town.
The rice bowls are laid atop numerous box-like foundations which imitate the iconic agricultural landscape of the also-famous terrace rice paddies of the town. The aim of this installation was to combine these two icons of the town in a visual representation. Each of the box-like foundations differ in size and height, making it functional for transportation and recreation in other venues.
