Translated from Japanese by

Mokubei (1767~1833), a potter and painter who represented Kyoto in the late Edo period, was born in the teahouse "Kiya" in Gion, Kyoto, and is popularly known as "88". It was named "Kime" after the "tree" of Kiya or Mr. Aoki and the "rice" that is a contraction of eighty-eight. In addition to "Deaf Rice", which is derived from being deaf in middle age, there are issues such as "Dragon Rice", "Nine Scales", "Qingli", "Hundred Six Mountain People", and "Ancient Ware".
In his 30s, he came across a Chinese ceramic book, "Ceramic Theory," which he transcribed and devoted himself to the ceramics industry in earnest. His works range from excellent sencha ware to tea ceramics. Based on his diligent research on ancient ceramics, he has a broad perspective, and the creativity of connecting the beauty and beauty of ancient ceramics from ancient and modern times beyond conventions and opening up new beauty is manifested in Kimai pottery.
On the other hand, the paintings that Kime painted energetically, especially from his late 50s, are attractive for their pure and free-spirited style. Many of them are mountain and water maps that were gifts to friends, and if you look at them while imagining their friendships and Kime's own personality, you will feel even more flavorful.
Now, what is indispensable for knowing the literati and wood rice is his magnificent testament. He is said to have said, "I want you to knead the clay from all over the places you have collected so far, put my body in it, burn it in a kiln, and bury it in the mountains.
In this exhibition, we will introduce one of the best masterpieces full of individuality of wood rice that was admired by the literati of the time. Through the ceramics, paintings, and friendships of wood rice, it is a rare opportunity to experience the rare life and the whole picture of wood rice art.
