**2025-12-31** I learned about Uchida Koichi’s view of Hineno Sakuzo’s work through a book on the BANKO Archive Design Museum. What left a strong impression on me were the scrapbook-like design notebooks and the hand-copied pattern books made by Hineno’s students. Through these materials, I felt how thinking every day and making something every day mattered deeply to his practice. Even experiences unrelated to ceramics were absorbed and later appeared in ceramic work as learning and insight. Design, daily life, and making were closely connected. One day, I hope to see Hineno’s sketches in person. I also want to learn to observe my own daily time more carefully—and to turn what I feel into something I can make. >**Hineno Sakuzō** Hineno Sakuzō (日根野作三) was a Japanese industrial designer and ceramic artist active in the 20th century. Known for his innovative approach to ceramic design, he contributed to the modernization of Japanese pottery and the postwar craft design movement. His influence extended to both industrial production and individual craft artistry. ![[Pasted image 20251231113014.png |200]] ###### Design scraps transcribed by Tatso Inagaki p.s.
