Exclusively presented by Chariots on Fire, Three Pastel Flowers is a historic, archival ceramic artwork by Japanese artist Makoto Kagoshima. Featuring three delicate botanical forms rendered in soft pastel glazes, this landmark piece holds premier provenance within the artist's studio archive: featured on page 88 of the official Makoto Kagoshima: Ceramics monograph (published by Chariots on Fire Press), a close-up study of its signature hand-etched flowers graces the book's cover, as well as one of the pad covers for the Makoto Kagoshima: Ladybug Stationery Set.
Across 11 commissioned exhibitions from 2013 to 2021, Chariots on Fire has uniquely presented Kagoshima’s ceramic works. A landmark 2021 exhibition launched the first Makoto Kagoshima × Chariots on Fire × Christopher Farr rug collection—a 1/1 series inspired by and designed to mirror the artist's one-of-a-kind ceramics. That success directly expanded into fine textiles and wallpaper, leading to the next iteration of rugs arriving in 2027: The Make It Your Own Collection.
“What I create for Chariots embodies Los Angeles,” says Kagoshima.
Brought to Los Angeles by the gallerist who discovered his work for his first U.S. exhibition, this piece sits at the very heart of Kagoshima’s origin story with Chariots on Fire.
The Evolution of Form Extending his painterly botanical lines beyond the kiln, our ongoing collaboration with premier rug maker Christopher Farr translates Kagoshima’s signature sgraffito illustrations into large-scale, 1/1 hand-knotted textiles woven from raw Afghan Ghazni wool.
