01 Teapot

*Black spots and blemishes may be present due to iron content showing through, approximately 1mm or less. This is part of the vessel's character, intentionally left by the artist.

In Iwata-san's works, one can sense the traces of his thought process and the connection between individual items.

With the pouring vessel, I rediscovered the joy of shifting perspectives, appreciating the linear movement when viewed directly from the side and the rhythmic roundness when seen from above.

The handle is adorned with unglazed pottery, a delicate touch that contrasts beautifully with the body's strength.

Iwata-san's everyday observations, perspectives, and ideas are truly fascinating.

Tetsuhiro Iwata Brief Biography
Born in Tottori Prefecture in 1981. Studied architecture at Kyoto Seika University, then apprenticed under ceramic artist Tamaki Ito. Became independent in 2019. As he himself states, he is drawn to "products" like industrial goods; from a distance, his works may appear unadorned, but when held, one is moved by their exquisite balance and the traces of handcraftsmanship. The fusion of constructive, concise proportions and organic handwork evokes the modernity of Brutalist architecture. He is an artist that Food For Thought is keeping an eye on.
