Features: Any language is dangerous for this book. Wittgenstein said, "Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent." When facing this book, the only feeling required is to let the heart settle in its place, like a flower belonging to the earth. A flower to the earth is voiceless, blooming with humility, emitting a subtle fragrance—just a wisp connects it to the earth. All the pottery is silent, just like the primordial essence of life on earth. In this silence lies joy, leaps of excitement, thunder and lightning. In the beginning, when chaos was yet undifferentiated, a ray of sunlight shone upon the still pottery. Touched by the touch of a spiritual hand, it took form, gaining life. The warmth of the hand remains, lingering on the silk-like texture. Poetry. Sculpture. Painting. All，，，，，，，。Can what easily captures the heart always be simple and unadorned? Natō's works shine with the sharpness of a scalpel, stripping away the masks life imposes upon us. Reducing life to a blankness, bare and naked. The abundant blank spaces in the book contrast with the sculptures, those blank spaces being the origin and destination of both poetry and sculpture.
