A few days at London for the CAL where I showed my best works. 

15. February
I met Mariko and Yuchiko at a workshop in USA a few years ago. Now we met again at Mashiko. They took me arround and we spent a nice time together. We visited Shirobe Kobayashi, who works near Mashiko. Mariko and Yuchiko with Shirobe in front of his smallest anagama kiln. Shirobe Kobayashi is making powerful works.

14. February
My son Valentin also visited Japan at the same time. We came to Hamada's museum to see his workshop. Even he died long ago we still can feel the strong energy at this place where Hamada worked for many years.

13. February
Exhibition at 21-21 in Tokyo. Ernst Gamperl, Lucy Rie and Jennifer Lee in a show made by Tadao Ando and Issey Miyake. The modern show room was built byTadao Ando, also the set up of the exhibition. It was a nice experience to meet my friend Ernst here at Tokyo and to be a guest at the opening with all those special people.

12. February

We are beginnig to prepare the studio and house for our anual home exhibition next weekend. (June 21st and 22nd)

I just came back from Berlin where I had to bring some works to Brusberg Gallery. It was interesting to see my works in this  context between paintings and sculptors of modern art of the 20th century.

June 5th
Since weeks I am working with clay. Throwing a lot of pieces on the wheel and making some very large works. The first week of august we are planing to fire the kiln.
March 6th
Just back from the exhibition at Ceramic Art London. There I was presenting afew of the new tea bowls and tea caddies. It was great to show my work at London, where I met wonderful people.

I met Gordon Crosby who is making wonderful work. Just look in the internet at Gallery Beson.

The new catalogue about the best tea works from 2007 just got published. I hope to make some new good work this year. Tea bowls are easy to make but very difficult to get a real good one. It just needs many years of doing it step by step.
