In the forests of Hokkaido, I create my works, inspired daily by the familiar plants, animals, and other elements of nature around me.
Memories of landscapes seen in childhood, recollections of journeys to foreign lands, words that suddenly come to mind, poems and stories I've written myself, accidental misinterpretations—these all serve as the wellsprings for my pottery, taking shape and becoming the paintings I create.

About this Work
Komuro Shizuka's Pentagonal Plate is a ceramic plate about 28.5 cm across, in a soft pentagonal shape. The white surface is carved, and shapes like petals, leaves and the beaks of small birds rise up in black, one after another. The carved relief makes light and shadow, giving it the presence of a relief artwork more than a plate. On the back, swellings follow the carving on the front, so it is a pleasure to touch as well. Use the hollows to divide cheese, fruit or hors d'oeuvres, or set it on a shelf as a decorative plate. It is a plate that makes you enjoy imagining how to use it. Each piece is painted by hand, so no two have the same picture.
