Goro emphasizes Japanese “Wabi-Sabi” in his ceramic art. This “Wabi-Sabi” represents art and nature, including flowers, trees, wind and birds. It is called in Japanese / KA (flower), CHO (butterfly and bird), FU (wind), GETS (moon). These are all elements in any traditional art. Goro creates many of his ceramic pieces for his delicious hobby, cooking.
