THE SCULPTURAL NARRATIVE
“This is a one-of-a-kind ceramic plate by artist Makoto Kagoshima, available exclusively through Chariots on Fire. Representing the foundational origin story of the artist’s introduction to the United States, this one-of-a-kind plate showcases Kagoshima’s signature three-flower border motif. This specific archival piece is documented directly within the pages of the accompanying Makoto Kagoshima Ceramics book, making it a perfect starter piece or historical addition for a dedicated design enthusiast.
Highlights the artist's connection to Los Angeles through Chariots on Fire, specifically a 2010 meeting in Japan that led to his first U.S. exhibition and a lasting partnership. This collaboration spans 11 historic exhibitions (2013–2022) and collaborations with rug maker Christopher Farr, with more expected in 2027.”
