Today's post will show you that the notion about traditional arts being a very rigid artform is just plain wrong. It's a common misconception that traditional arts don't change, and that they don't lend themselves to modern concepts. For example, people think that traditional ceramics are only meant to be copies of previous masterpieces, but Keiko Masumoto begs to differ and creates a tasteful blend between the traditional and modern. In some sense, her ceramic works show an interesting clash: a collision between the modern and the traditional culture in the most literal sense. Her traditional pots, vases and plates are infused with unexpected elements, like floral pieces, animals, and other seemingly random objects, ones which we don't associate with ceramics at all. These clashes of form and function, classics and modernity that permeate each of her ceramic art pieces resolve themselves in a quite surreal result appreciated by many. Check it out!

The seeming lack of stability for the piece gives me anxiety. How do they move it safely?

This makes me think that in a natural disaster, children/their toys are embedded in the earth. And this is a harsh reminder. I like it, but also it makes me sad

Absolutely amazing work. Can't even imagine the hours of work that went into each piece.

If you’re wondering how they’re made, a lot of these look like they made each thing separately and then cut away pieces to mesh them together, like one of those block puzzles.
