A solo exhibition by Haruhiko Kaneko, founder of Ishigaki-yaki Pottery, was held to great success at Villa Bagatelle in Marseille, France. The exhibition was supported by the Consulate General of Japan in Marseille. A private view was held on the beautifully sunny evening of February 28. The many attendees included consuls and consulate staff from a number of foreign consuls, representatives of Marseille City, and members of the general public. The exhibition, which comprised the Happy Blue Wall and several Ishigaki-yaki pottery pieces, received considerable praise, and the artist was delighted to have communicated the beauty and the importance of Okinawa’s ocean waters to a French audience. The artist was presented with a medal of honour by the City of Marseille.
