Congratulatory messages from Morihiro Hosokawa

Even the greatest river starts from a drop of rain fall.

An artist may try hard to seek the best clay, create some shapes, heat up a kiln for firing clay materials and produce unique works. If you deem these processes as a rain drop, you may consider the Kogei Art Fair this time as a river running from valley down to a mountain village. I see it as a state of flux indeed.

I very much expect the explicit manifestation of pure originality shown by 55 artists.

I sincerely wish that the First Kogei Art Fair turns into the major stream before long.
