Description
I am a Jū Cross Plate. I'm the Japanese character for '10' so naturally that makes me a 10 outta 10 on the plate scale.
Curator's Notes
In 2010, Ryuji Mitani transformed an old tobacco shop into a gallery. He found an antique metal stencil that read “10cm”, and aptly named the small space after it. The cross character for “10” (Jū) in Japanese, quickly became the artisan’s signature motif.
