THE 6TH INTERNATIONAL CERAMICS COMPETITION MINO JAPAN
Calling for Entries for the International Ceramics?02 Mino, Japan
Competition

Hosted by: International Ceramics Festival Executive Committee

Honorary Chairperson: Her Imperial Highness, Princess Takamatsu

Through the global exchange of ceramic designs and cultures, the
International Ceramics Festival Mino, Japan, will enhance culture, and
further the growth of the ceramics industry. The first Festival was
held in 1986, and this will be the 6th such event. The main attraction
of The International Ceramics Festival '02 Mino, Japan, will be the
Ceramics Competition, which has a markedly international flavor. In the
last competition, there were 3,507 works entered from artists in 64
different countries and regions.

This competition has met the approval of the ICSID (International
Council of Societies of Industrial Design). The actual works will be
judged by Internationally-renowned people. Special measures to make it
easier for overseas applicants to enter are being implemented, such as
special handling of the registration and transportation. Together, these
features will help to ensure that the competition will be a springboard
to international success for world ceramics designers and artists.

The ceramics industry has recently seen the entry of new materials and
techniques into the field, along with continuing advances in the
creation of a borderless world. Together, these are expected to create
new parameters for the industry. With expectations of even more unique
artistic endeavors than ever before, we look forward to having the
opportunity of viewing entries which will open new horizons.

BASIC PHILOSOPHY

This contest is intended to give us the opportunity to reflect upon the
traditions associated with ceramics, which is a large and vital activity
that has extended over the past 10,000 years. It is of great importance
that we renew our knowledge of the spirit and existence of ceramics
through a study of its history. Outstanding pottery represents the
discovery of beauty in and the application of spirit to objects which
were originally produced with no particular consideration of these
qualities. Even in the simplest of bowls, we can recognize something
extraordinary, feel the color, experience a profound tactile sensation;
shapes that are neither magnificent nor strongly impressive in
themselves can present us with a glimpse of the universe. Ceramics are
imbued with a life force?a force that blends with the desires and forms
of people's daily lives that suggests new vistas and transforms the
boundaries of time to continue thriving throughout centuries. Now as we
see the beginning of the 21st century, we face an age of mass
production, mass consumption, new materials, and new technologies. And
we question ourselves. In which direction will the strong waves of our
times sweep the spirit and existence of ceramics? Will creative powers
be lost before the onslaught of technological achievement? Will we come
to deny the warm bonds of humanity that have bound us to our fellow
mortals? We commit ourselves to making the International Ceramics
Festival '02 Mino, Japan, the site of a glimpse into a future blessed
with creativity, backed by the ultimate in technical sophistication, and
with the unlimited potential of humanity.
