田川亞希 TAGAWA Aki


ゆるふわ戯作陶芸、じわる。

鳥獣戯画や浮世絵、風俗画などのモチーフに現代的なニュースやテーマを織り交ぜ、
どこまでもゆるく、微熱を帯びた陶芸作品で人気の田川亞希。
作品を通じて会話が生まれ、楽しい時間が流れることを期待しつつ、今日もせっせとネタを仕込み中。

定番のカップや皿、酒器、そして白白庵ならではの茶碗など、最新作を含むラインナップを紹介いたします。


Laidback caricatured ceramics, getting funnier and funnier

TAGAWA Aki mixes the archaic Japanese motifs, such as Choju Jinbutsu Giga (caricatures of frolicking birds, animals, and humans), Ukiyoe, and genre-paintings, with contemporary news or themes. Her ceramic works are popular since they are laid back every inch of them but also slightly rousing.

While she expects that conversations get lively through her works and people have enjoyable time, she prepares topics for her next works.

We will introduce a lineup of her regular works, such as cups, plates, sake cups, and tea bowls, as well as the latest works.
