Morino Taimei illustrates the artist's ultimate pursue to the Japanese concept of ma (間) which simultaneously encapsulates the relational aspects of of space, object, tempo, and rhythm. The asymmetry of this vessel, which is oval-shaped with an off-center opening, gives a feeling of movement that is accentuated by the lightness and lift of the hidden foot and the playful black patterns that dance across the rust red iron glazed surface. These patterns, partially inspired by Native American art that Morino encountered during his time teaching ceramics in the United States, have a distinct kind of rhythm. The artist hopes that viewers read between the lines, shapes, and dots that playfully stretch across the surface as one would read a piece of literature or poetry, and therefore come to better understand his work and its connection to ma. Morino's work is firmly rooted in the traditions of his native Kyoto, yet his exposure to international art trends during the four years he spent teaching at the University of Chicago in the 1960s and his awareness of more avant-garde Japanese practices both affected his work. This piece employs the black and red glazes reminiscent of traditional iron works on lacquer boxes and chests thereby translating that tradition into a new medium. Morino's work continues to combine tradition and innovation while expressing his dedication to the deeply complex concept of ma.


森野泰明は、日本の概念である「間」を究極まで追求した作品を作り、「間」とは、空間、物体、テンポ、リズムなどの関係性を同時に包み込むものです。開口部が中心から外れた楕円形のこの器の非対称性は、隠された足の軽さと持ち上げ、赤錆色の鉄釉の表面に踊る遊び心のある黒い模様によって強調される動きのある感覚を与えます。この模様は、森野氏がアメリカで陶芸を教えていた時に出会ったネイティブアメリカンのアートからヒントを得たもので、独特のリズムを持っています。鑑賞者が文学や詩を読むように、表面に戯れに伸びる線や形、点の間を読むことで、彼の作品と「間」との関係をより深く理解することができるだろうと森野氏は考えています。森野氏の作品は、京都の伝統にしっかりと根ざしていますが、1960年代にシカゴ大学で4年間教鞭をとっていたときに国際的な美術動向に触れ、日本の前衛的な手法を意識したことが作品に影響を与えています。この作品では、漆の箱や箪笥に施された伝統的な鉄の作品を思わせる黒と赤の釉薬を使い、その伝統を新たな媒体に置き換えています。森野氏の作品は、伝統と革新を融合させながら、「間」という複雑な概念へのこだわりを表現しています。
