Wakusei — literally “wandering star”, the Japanese word for planet — evokes the movement of objects of the cosmos. From his atelier in Japan’s lush hillsides, Tenshin Juba works in rhythm with nature, creating works with natural ash-glaze, clay and stone. Each object embodies the tension between earth and sky, feeling both ancient and newly discovered. From his hands to yours, let the conversation begin.
Juba's artistic approach demonstrates a profound connection with his environment — from the bounty of the earth, he utilizes a mix of raw materials from rocks, fertile clay, fallen trees and other organic matter. It is terrain Juba has explored since childhood, a familiar place that also ignites his desire to experiment.
Also central to Juba’s practice is his fascination with the natural element of fire. By subjecting his work to extreme temperatures peaking at 2336°F / 1280°C, Juba orchestrates a metamorphosis of earthen minerals inherent in his works. The firing process which spans roughly seven days unveils a spectrum of tactile textures from glassy pools of silica, polished metallic hues in inky black, nude and platinum to the rugged emergence of rocks from the surfaces achieved through the ichi-haze “stone-burst” technique.
Planet Wakusei bears the imprint of the artist's hand and nature’s artistry, rendering forms unrecognizable yet undeniably alive. Works are intended to live amongst us and are a celebration of the natural world.
