Every picture dyed by Mr.Tagawa makes us realize that he was undoubtedly
a great dyeing master. Beautiful sketching, brilliantly designed
composition and fascinating coloring are evident in each picture.
Though he died in 2000, during his last years he often came to see
us and would talk about his favorite cheese and advise me on my
pottery work. He was not only a fanatic about the necessity for
beautiful crafts, but he was also a romantic who loved poetry. Since
he was a Christian, he left some beautiful Gregorian chants in his
works. He always asked us to uphold the MINGEI philosophy, which
is the making of modest and useful wares that subtly display art
and beauty while performing a necessary function.
