Foreword
Whenever I receive various inspirations from my daily life, I always search between the "things" and "events."
Since we were born on this earth, we have faced all the nature that exists on the earth, but it may be more appropriate to resist rather than face it. And in the history of mankind, I think that people have left a number of scratches from this "resistance."
For example, earthenware can be touched as a tangible thing that decays or changes over time, trying to leave its mark even after a long time, and sometimes unintended accidental products are produced by one's own hands. I think the same when I created it.
Is this natural or is it due to human hands? I'm so attracted to something that is somewhere between nature and people who don't know if it's omission or act, and when something flashes, I wonder if it's conscious or unconscious. ..
I also thought that looking at things from multiple angles might be a task of exploring something in between, and I still think that the name "neutral" was given.
By the way, I am deeply grateful that I was blessed with the opportunity to express what I feel and think in such a slightly special way with my sensibilities.
What we will experience from now on is still like a little baby born from the shell to us, but I am excited to think that there may be a magnificent drama that transcends time and space.
Through this project, I hope that it will sway like a small ripple in the value of the world and in you who will experience it in the future.Later, we would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Kuroki, the owners of "Ru", and Mr. and Mrs. Hamaguchi of the Hamaguchi family for their support and cooperation in holding this food installation. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all concerned parties.

After meals
Chinese tea HANAE hanae
It is a white tea produced in Lincang, Yunnan Province, made from tea trees about 100 years old in a naturally cultivated tea plantation located at an altitude of 2000-2100m. HANAE is characterized by its gorgeous citrus fruity aroma that spreads in the mouth, its natural sweetness, and the richness that is sucked into the back of the throat.
This tea is selected by Yuya Toda of "IDLE MOMENT", which sells Chinese and Taiwanese teas based in Niigata. Ayurvedic knowledge suggests that the astringency at the end of a meal is very good for preventing overeating and promoting digestion.

This means that even if there is color, it is the same as colorless if you do not want to see it, and it is said that the work of the mind to see is "wisdom". The sensation of being insubstantial, which disappears quickly, is an attempt to make you aware of what is there.
