Having carried out an exhaustive study of decorative patterns from around the world, Yuki Hayama (b. 1961) imbues each porcelain with an entire world. Introducing characters from ancient legends and myths, Hayama questions the meaning of each type of pattern, causing the viewers to reconsider space and life, and inviting them to revisit the distant past. The message he transmits through his works is one of gratitude and amazement for the accomplishments of humanity and nature.
