TABATA Shion
Potter
Born in 1947, she worked at Tanimatsuya Toda Shoten, an antique art dealer running since the Edo period in Osaka for five years from 1985. There, she was blessed with the opportunity to actually see many masterpieces, and through this precious experience, she became a ceramic artist in 1991. In 2004, she established “Shiongama” in Karuizawa. In addition to creating original works, she is also actively involved in utsushi(*) of Kenzan OGATA ,Rosanjin KITAOJI and many others.
(*)“Utsushi” is a well-established concept in the world of Japanese ceramics. It’s an idea unique to Japan: it can’t be translated by words like “copy” or “epigone.” The Kano school, the most influential artistic school in the history of Japanese art, fostered many professional artists in their studios by teaching their techniques to people with direct blood connections, and they left us many superb works of art. The Rinpa school, which appeared later, is different in this respect. Rather than direct transmission of techniques, they were able to accomplish a transmission across time and space, without blood connection or even contact. It is during the time of the Rinpa school that we begin to see the emergence of the notion of utsushi.
In line with the meaning of the word [to copy], one copies the form of another piece. However, if a work is simply an imprecise reproduction, one can’t call it utsushi. Many artists polish their skills by making reproductions, and learn a lot about their predecessors by studying their work. However, for something to be an utsushi, which has the artist’s unique expressions, it has to extend beyond being a mere reproduction. Utsushi, as original artistic expressions, ought to offer up new ideas, display the creator’s individuality, and connect the past and future through the “present”.
