Today, Riyoo Kim, a ceramic artist is taking us to “Spiral”, a multi-purpose cultural center situated in Omotesando, where he is helding an exhibition.
Various exhibitions, salons and other contemporary art projects are held there.
Riyoo Kim studied ceramics of the Jomon and Yayoi eras.
What is fascinating about ceramics is that it can last for more than fifteen thousand years if buried. What has been made by the hands of humans who lived fifteen thousand years ago still remains today.
Riyoo Kim would also like to leave a message to future generations, using ceramics.

such an incredible episode, that ceramic exhibition was mesmerizing. Thanks.
Wow some stunning pieces of ceramic art there! Humans can make such beauty from the earth
I did a few Jomon pieces for my 3year study in Ceramics. Our tutor told us to choose an era from three different countries. I fired the pieces in a pit kiln to get the coloration right with a foot of the bowl having a light pinkish touch and the top part black from the reduction And it looked amazing. I even did a three part painting from it and told the story of the bowl as a simple vessel with a sacred mission. I love Jomon, but I am German. Greetings from the Pacific and all the best with your ceramic art. Rita
I would like to see more videos about him he has become my favorite esculptor ever since I first saw this video😁
Im in love with his works!! 😍
I watched this in the past, but I never left a comment because I didn't have anything to really say. I've learned that leaving comments helps content creators, and since I want channels I like to keep making videos I enjoy, I came back to this video and left this. Thanks for making and sharing this video.
