A ceramic artist "Ryota Aoki" bought a mountain about 10 years ago.

It is a remote mountain in Toki City, Gifu Prefecture.

There were a lot of "clay" when digging in the mountain and "wood" of fuel burning in the firewood kiln.

"The material of pottery" and "the fuel of pottery" which are incomprehensible even if it takes a lifetime.

Adventure from the mountain of Ryota Aoki started there.

I entered 2 liters of water in a big backpack and went adventure into the mountain.

"A journey by searching for new materials."

 If we were to walk around the mountain for a couple of hours, the trees that grew suddenly disappeared and one side of the tree reached the place of white ore.

"What is this mysterious place !?"

I could not hide surprises.

It was a place where "crystal" could be gathered.

Crystal is rolling on one side.

Strictly speaking, there were lots of stone clumps that could not be fully quartz.

I dropped down on backpack and put it in the kiln and baked it.

Very pretty minerals roasted.

From there, a series of quartz vessels and objects are finished.

"This quartz itself is very beautiful. This is also a work of pottery."

"Crystal" of this beautiful crystal series

I'd love to have fun with everyone.

The mountain is my master.

I am learning a lot.

(Incidentally, once it was distressed in my mountain and died, it was the bosom of my teacher who should not enter with a light feeling)

"Crystals of the kings" series.

Natural power is heavy and powerful.

It is not hampered.

Therefore, I also found a great place to appear in the pottery artist "Kato Kurouro".

There was pottery material that was not open to the outside.

Let's talk about it next time.

-Ryota Aoki, Potter.
