Kenta Nakanishi × Akari Sato Duo Exhibition

Maker / Kenta Nakanishi　Material / Woodcraft　Region / Toyama Prefecture
Maker / Akari Sato　Material / Ceramics　Region / Toki City, Gifu Prefecture

Woodcraft and ceramics.

Although they are different materials, when placed side by side, they blend together surprisingly well,
creating a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Mr. Nakanishi says, "It's pleasant to use, and pleasant to simply have."
Ms. Sato values "quietness" in her creations.

When the craftsmanship of these two artists intertwines, your usual tea time becomes a little more special.
Please enjoy the beauty of such a combination.
