◆

Yamato Kobayashi has been working with FOOD FOR THOUGHT since its opening. He is a popular artist who always attracts a lot of attention from many people, regardless of whether it's a special exhibition or a solo exhibition.

His works have a natural and gentle presence that doesn't reveal the tireless effort he puts into them. We receive many enthusiastic comments from his users, such as "Mr. Kobayashi's works are always on our table every day. I always pick them up while preparing food." and "Our family has grown, so I want to buy more of Mr. Kobayashi's works..."

Mr. Kobayashi's style is characterized by the strength of earthenware while being clean and sharp. His standard tableware continues to be made with meticulous refinement, such as the width of the rim and the treatment of the edges. And the sizes are perfectly uniform. The weight distribution is also perfect, providing beautiful stability when stacked. It's surprisingly pleasant when the shapes of the vessels are neatly aligned.

It's also great for fans that the color and shape match when they try to purchase the same vessel at another exhibition, but this is not a given for handmade artist pieces. The glaze is evenly applied to the entire surface of the vessel, including the back of the foot. This requires an extra step of grinding after firing, but Mr. Kobayashi never cuts corners, saying, "I think it's more beautiful that way." His vessels are carefully made in an unchanging style, not swayed by trends. They will surely become a staple in your home that you'll want to use for many years.

These reliable vessels will seamlessly blend into the user's life and become a part of it. The lineup is easy for anyone to choose from, whether you want to match what you already have or you want to start fresh. Popular works will, of course, also be making an appearance!

If you want to experience Mr. Kobayashi's careful and beautiful work, please visit the Uehara store. (Haruna)
