I am filled with joy on the day of setting up my sculpture, especially when professionals are at work like today.
Mr. Maruyama and his crew are specialists in setting up art works for museums.
They know exactly where to hold, and move in harmonious teamwork, so that I can relax and watch them work.
The installation of my terracotta sculpture is now in progress at the new library of Fukuoka University.
The ceramic sculpture is now ready to be installed in the Ota-Ward Gymnasium.
In fact, the installation is now in progress and I am looking forward to its completion.
The mysterious world of glaze is like magic. Some contain poison and are dangerous. The porcelain sculpture that I am working on for the Ota-Ward Gymnasium is challenging, seriously working with different types of glaze.
Kazenobi in Shintotsukawa-cho is closed during snow season.
Will be open again at the beginning of May next year.
I have designed a small water garden which consists of a fountain, a terra cotta sculpture, stripe stone floor and a stone bench.
Also have participated in designing the entrance hall interior.
I have been working on a ceramic sculpture for a gymnasium in Ota ward, Tokyo, having fun at glazing.
The art work will be integrated with 1600 convex mirrors on the wall.
Plywood cut-out and tied together with silk strings.
This artwork has been donated and installed at the entrance of Takikawa Municipal Hospital, Hokkaido, Japan.
The huge white terra-cotta relief that Igarashi has been working in Shigaraki is now complete. This artwork will be installed at the ‘kazenobi’ museum which is renovated from a closed elementary school building.
The museum will open to the public in Spring/early Summer, 2011, in Hokkaido, Japan.
