有田焼の職人達が絵付けの美しさを磨いていた時代に戦争が起こり、その技術を生かせる環境を失いました。軍服用のボタンを作るような悲惨な日々を二度と繰り替えさないよう、平和の象徴の鳩とオリーブをモチーフに絵付けをした蓋でその歴史に封をし、未来へとつないでいきます。
東京ミッドタウンのデザインイベントDESIGN TOUCH at STYLE MEETS PEOPLE『HOPE for PEACE / 平和へつながるデザイン』展のために製作した1点もののアートワークです。

The craftsmen of Arita-yaki (ceramics) who were training to create beautiful ceramic painting lost their environment to use their skills because of the war. This artwork has a message for the future generation: We shall not repeat the tragic days of making buttons for the military uniforms, and shall seal such history with the iconic lid painted with the dove and olive images representing peace.
The artwork is a one-off piece created for the “DESIGN TOUCH at STYLE MEETS PEOPLE ‘HOPE for PEACE / Design that brings peace (Heiwa-e tsunagaru dezain)’ exhibition at Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi.
