Koichi Toyama uses his unique sensibility and techniques to create a timeless look from the texture of the wood he has cut.

The tray series, each with a different haturi look,

Soban, with its modern twelve-cornered shape and aged appearance,

and the Sumikiri-kaku tray variation, which is even more appealing as an everyday companion.

The gentle beige-grey colour is created by fine penetrations slightly tinted with acorns.

The soft green glaze is reminiscent of antiquities.

Takuji Hayashi's vessels have a warmth and simplicity in their effortless form.

Koichi Toyama's woodwork and Takuji Hayashi's ceramics.

Despite the differences in materials,

the two share a quietness behind their stout style and a presence that blends into the space as if it had always been there.

Please enjoy this exhibition of two artists whose comfortable reticence resonates with each other.

Things made from soil and grass "Takuji Hayashi x Asami Sakaki Botanical Laboratory exhibition"

October 13, 2025

Sat 11 Oct - Sun 26 Oct

✳︎ The shop will be closed on Wed 15 and Wed 22 Oct.

In October, Gallery Grapefruit Juice will host a two-person exhibition by Takuji Hayashi and Asami Sakaki Botanical Laboratory.

Soil and grass are different materials, yet deeply connected to human life. Please come and see the overlapping spaces of expression created by their hands.

Takuji Hayashi

Born as the fourth generation of a potter in Seto, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. After studying ceramic techniques in Seto, built his own kiln in Seto/Hayashino. Later moved to Okayama Prefecture and continued to make pottery. He uses both a potter's wheel and a mould, and after firing, he uses a technique where natural colour is impregnated into the nuki (penetration) with tochishibu (a type of astringent woodchip).

Asami Sakaki Botanical Institute

Born in Shizuoka Prefecture, Sakaki Asami established the Asami Sakaki Botanical Institute in 2015 and is currently based in Suwa, Nagano Prefecture. She creates works and exhibitions that utilise plants, such as bonsai, wildflowers and grass ornaments. She continues to create works that are simple yet evoke the suppleness of nature and the workings of life, valuing the sense of finding beauty in "imperfection, distortion and gaps".
