Mutsuo Yanagihara 's work
I have been to the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo the Crafts Gallery. Mutsuo Yanagihara 's work was very original.
Mutsuo Yanagihara is a famous potter in modern Japan. He is a Professor Emeritus at Osaka University of Art.
He uses silver or gold for his pottery. It is influenced by traditional Japanese painting¬ that use silver or gold -Rinpa. Also, he loves Oribe pottery.
His father is a doctor. So he can make pottery more freely than the man who is his father is a potter.
He learns potter at an art university in kyoto. Kenkichi Toyomoto-famous potter taught him in modern japan at that university.
He has been to America several times. He has worked at University in America. So he had influenced by modern American art-vivid color and form.
