I sympathize with Siro’s vision, so I can trust and rely on them

When I first visited Siro's workshop, I remember that I deeply sympathized with the owner’s words, "I want to make a vessel that responds to the feelings of the person who uses it". It was around the time when I was trying to organize my principles on my culinary profession. It was also a time when I reached the idea that I should strive to create dishes for the recipient. Focusing on the recipient’s feelings rather than being self-centered may be a common important concept for both cooking and pottery making.

This red bowl is particularly memorable. The concept of my cooking is to use the fresh seasonal ingredients. The red color could not be attained from only the ingredients, especially during the winter. When I was shown this vessel, I was convinced that adding the impact of the red element would pleasantly draw the whole course together.
