Japan has valued the phoenix from days of old as the divine creature that protects the south.
In Kyoto, the Suzaku Mon (or “Phoenix Gate”) is the southern gate protected by the phoenix, and the road from there to the center of the city is called the Suzaku Odori (or “Phoenix Boulevard”).
I see the Phoenix as an important presence to protect our daily lives.
朱雀は四神の一つで、南を守る神獣として日本でも古くから大切にされてきました。
京都でも町を守る神として南門を朱雀門と言い、そこから中心部に向かう道を朱雀大路とされていました。
私たちの生活を守る大切な存在としての朱雀のイメージを私なりに解釈したものです。
Makimasa Imai insists on firing his pieces in climbing kilns to create a deep, rich finish, and he travels 400 km from Kyoto to Takehara in Hiroshima Prefecture to fire. His artwork is designed to give a vivid and energetic feeling to the animals he creates, adding a feeling of vitality to the space they are displayed in.
Makimasa's father, ceramic artist Masayuki Imai, is a recipient of the Order of Cultural Merit, which is considered a high honor in Japan.
