遠山に 日の当たりたる 枯野かな
Toh-yama ni/ Hi no atari taru/ Kareno kana
The sun shines / On the distant mountains; / Withered field
- Takahama Kyoshi 高浜 虚子(清)This poem describes a scene of a bright winter sun shines on a distant mountain making it dazzling, but cold. A withered field foregrounds the image.
This piece by Miwa Kyusetsu XIII (Kazuhiko) is titled “Setsurei 雪嶺”, which means a summit covered with snow. It captures the scale of a mountain scape. In the past, he has described the vivid awe of seeing “El Capitan”, a huge granite monolith over 900 meter high, seen from the Yosemite Valley in California USA. The area, he stated, represents a place filled with water- a place where life is born. Miwa has taken inspiration from the grandeur of nature and expresses it on a truly grand scale within the small universe of tea ceramics.
Miwa Kazuhiko is the third son of National Living Treasure Kyūsetsu XI (1910-2012) and brother of Ryōsaku (b. 1940). As a teenager, he was inspired by Peter Voulkos and studied at the San Francisco Art Institute. It was during this time that he encountered mountains capes such as the grand El Capitan. He assumed the family title in 2019.
