Today is the last day to see Summer Symphony: Works from Ippodo Gallery's Archive. We will be closed from August 10-15 for our schedule summer break.

Mitsukuni Misaki (b.1951) blends ancient tradition with modern abstraction. Using Jomon techniques, he hand-builds each vessel from clay coils and rolls braided cords across the surface to create deep, weathered textures. Misaki cites the gradients of Mark Rothko as a primary influence for his signature glazes. By rubbing multiple layers of pigmented slip onto the clay, he achieves soft, hues that feel both timeless and contemporary.

Experience the quiet strength of Misaki’s craft on view:

This is the last week to see Summer Symphony: Works from Ippodo's Archive, closing on August 8!

Hiromi Itabashi (b.1948) creates porcelain works that defy the rigidity of clay. His fluid forms feel almost weightless, blending the elegance of white porcelain with the raw texture of chamotte.

By playing with contrasting materials, Itabashi pushes the boundaries of directionality and form, challenging the way we perceive three-dimensional art. Pure sculptural poetry.

Shihoko Fukumoto's Galaxy seems to glow from within. A deep indigo sky suspended with stars.

One of Japan's leading textile artists, Fukumoto (b.1945) has spent over fifty years mastering aizome, the traditional art of indigo dyeing using the indigenous ai plant, which she calls "Japan blue." Drawing on early Japanese folk traditions of shibori resist-dyeing, she transforms these ancestral techniques into innovative contemporary textiles.

In Galaxy (1999), a radiant circle emerges from an indigo grid dotted with soft white forms recalling a constellation — a striking display of her masterful control in preserving pure white amid the richest of blues.

Fukumoto's work is held in the collections of the V&A and the Cleveland Museum of Art, among others.

Ippodo Gallery is honored to present the U.S. debut of work by Kunimasa Aoki, winner of the 2025 LOEWE Foundation Craft Prize, selected from more than 4,500 submissions worldwide.

Working in the ancient coil-building tradition of Jomon pottery, Aoki builds monumental terracotta forms and surrenders them to the forces of gravity, heat, and pressure—embracing the cracks and distortions that emerge as the clay finds its final form.

In his own words:

"I realized that clay was not simply a material for making shapes, but something alive—constantly changing under gravity and pressure. That sensation remains deeply connected to my work today."

Experience his work for the first time in the United States, on view now as part of Transforming Nature at Aspen Art Fair.

Kenji Wakasugi’s (b.1941) takes the spotlight in ‘Madonna: Queen of Controversy’.

During Madonna’s first visit to Tokyo in January 1985 to promote her ‘Like a Virgin’ album, photographer Kenji Wakasugi was allotted just 45 minutes for a portrait session, and in that time, he captured an icon. Beyond his iconic portraiture, Wakasugi’s practice is deeply expansive, exploring new territories in photography by employing mixed media, integrating elements such as washi paper, sumi ink, gold leaf, gold powder, and flattened silver sheets into his works.
