@coreyhelfordgallery“Magical girl” is a subgenre of Japanese manga and anime which features girls who use magic or possess magical powers. This motif ties in with Shimoda’s overall aesthetics which is directly inspired by Japanese manga and anime. “My father was interested in anime and Manga, and he introduced me to the Studio Ghibli animated movies when I was a child,” she notes.

]]>“There are expressions that can only be done digitally. But I try to express it in such a way that I don’t know if it’s digital or analog. Another reason is that you can return to the original even if you fail. And the ability to study color design to the end and so on,” the artist told in an interview for Ballpit and added that his work is mostly inspired by Cubist painters including Picasso, Cezanne and Anrilso as well as Japanese classical paintings, Hokusai, Yokoyama Taikan, and Japanese Buddhist statues.

]]>Unlike other forms of pottery, Nerikomi doesn’t involve painting over the pots once they’re dry. Instead, Nerikomi potters stack up slabs of painted clay one on top of another to create patterns in the clay itself. Once the slabs are stacked together, they’re sliced into tiny slabs to reveal the pattern.
The art is stunning, but it’s also more than a thousand years old, which might make it less appealing to younger generations. That’s why Japanese potter Tomoro Mizuno is giving his Nerikomi pots a modern twist.
. . I will exhibit and sell at Takashimaya, Kyoto from September 4th to 10th. , 京都タカシマヤへ持っていきますTomoro is a third-generation potter – he was taught pottery and Nerikomi by his father, who in turn learned it for his father. But Tomoro is a young artist with a fresh perspective that he tries to bring into his art. That’s why alongside traditional Nerikomi patterns he’s also making pots with robots, cute animals and funny characters patterns. He’s trying to create pottery that people of his generation and young would appreciate.
And he’s doing something right, because his pottery is incredibly popular across Japan, and he has a huge following on social media, with 175k followers. But that’s not surprising, because his pottery is a real eye-candy, and anybody can find a design of his they love.
