Naotsugu Yoshida's works are impressive for their shapes that encompass softness behind a quiet, sharp expression. The stoic pursuit of form gives his works an overwhelming presence in any space. Many fans are captivated by his unique worldview, and he is a popular artist who is attracting increasing attention both in Japan and overseas.

The highlight of this exhibition is the "Chinese tea ceremony utensils" featured in the main visual. Three items will be exhibited: tea cups, teapots, and tea servers. All of them will be unveiled for the first time at this exhibition!

The delicate rim of the tea cup, so subtle that you barely notice its presence, will surely deliver the taste of tea directly. Also, the translucency and expression of Mr. Yoshida's white are important points when choosing a tea cup. You can leisurely enjoy the delicate color of the tea with your eyes.

Please try the teapots at Uehara store to find a shape that fits your hand.

You can feel the natural, firm curves of the tea server from your fingertips. In addition to its functionality as a tool, such as its excellent pouring, we hope you will also notice the beauty of its delicate appearance. Please collect your three favorite items and enjoy your tea time to the fullest throughout the seasons.

All tea ceremony utensils are available in limited quantities. Please purchase early.

There will also be one-of-a-kind works that are perfect as statement pieces for interiors, which are rarely seen. Of course, the basic lineup that fans hoping to add to their collection have been waiting for will also be available, so please look forward to it. Details of the works will be announced sequentially on Instagram, so please stay tuned for further updates!

Mr. Yoshida will be at the store on the first day, Saturday, August 23rd. Please enjoy choosing your works while listening to stories about his creation.

All of us staff look forward to your visit. (Haruna)
