At the heart of his practice as a ceramic artist is an unwavering foundation, forged through years of dedicated exploration and accumulated mastery. This exhibition features the &#8220;Shiro to Ao no&#8221; series, in which he returns to his origins while challenging new modes of expression, as well as rare works fired in a traditional wooden fire kiln, where natural kiln effects create richly varied surfaces. We invite you to experience his work as it stands today\u2014an evolving practice marked by both reflection and forward momentum.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">\u25a0 Hiroshi Taruta Solo Exhibition \u201cTo Make, and to Move Forward\u201d<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Dates: 13th (Fri) \u2013 28th (Sat), February 2026<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">10:00 a.m. \u2013 6:30 p.m. *Closed on Sundays and public holidays<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Venue: HULS GALLERY TOKYO (Akasaka, Roppongi)<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Dialogue with Artist: 13th (Fri) and 14th (Sat) February<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">*The contents of the event are subject to change.
