About this Event

IROHA 2026 Event

Welcome to IROHA 2026!

IROHA NYC Exhibition:

TAYUTAU

between the everyday and the ritual

Tayutau means to drift quietly, like something resting on the surface of water — quietly afloat, moving only with the water.

Eating, drinking, holding. Vessels belong to daily life, yet they offer another kind of stillness. This exhibition looks at the quiet moments created through vessels, and the space between the everyday and the ritual. A time that carries the faint presence of water.

Artists

Kazumi Noguchi
Noguchi works in pâte de verre — an ancient glass casting technique — creating vessels that catch and scatter light. Her pieces glow softly on the table,
changing with the time of day.

Gafu Ito
Gafu has spent his life in Tokoname — Japan's foremost teapot-making city — creating unglazed kyusu that mellow the tea with every brew. His teapots grow more beautiful with use, developing a surface patina that belongs to their owner alone.

Yoshio Kangawa
Kangawa fires with wood, builds his own kiln, and lets ash and flame decide the rest. His matte iron-black and quiet grey vessels are the perfect backdrop
for any meal — understated, and impossible to forget.

Denshiro
Kakunodate Denshiro has been making kabazaiku — cherry bark ware — since 1851, in the only town in Japan where this craft exists. Their tea canisters seal with near-perfect precision, preserving the aroma of leaves for far longer than any metal or plastic container, and grow richer and darker with every year of handling.

MUSICIAN

Jasper Shogo Dutz @jasper.shogo.dutz

Julia Danitz @juliadanitz
Violinist based in NYC. Performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the United Nations. Co-founder of Sonora Collective, an ensemble dedicated to performance in unexpected spaces. DMA from CUNY, MM from Juilliard, BA from Columbia
