Press Release

Nonaka-Hill Kyoto is pleased to present Earthscape, an exhibition of new work by Rando Aso (b. 1983). Beginning with the elemental relationship between earth and fire, Aso explores the relationship between form and space through firing techniques including field firing and smudge firing. For this exhibition, Aso’s first collaboration with Japanese speaker brand listude uses their polyhedral omnidirectional speakers to extend his exploration of space through sound throughout the gallery.

In 2026, Aso participated in the 20th Paramita Ceramic Art Grand Prize Exhibition at the Paramita Museum in Mie, and is currently participating in the 2026 Taiwan Ceramics Biennale at the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum in Taiwan.
