This work aims to represent the meaning of \u201ccontents\u201d.
\nI think that \u201ccontents\u201d is one of the most important parts of everything.
\nWhen I was thinking about starting this work, I was only thinking about this concept vaguely, and there was not yet a basis for my opinion.
\nIn Japanese we often use the phrases \u201cThe importance of a person lies not on external appearance but on the inside\u201d or \u201cNot much content (a story with very weak contents)\u201d, but what are these \u201ccontents\u201d we refer to?
\nWith that, I looked up the meaning of the word \u201ccontents\u201d in dictionaries and on the internet.
\nThese were my results.<\/p>\n

\u25c6 The meaning of \u201cthe body\u201d \u8eab
\n1. Body, human body
\n2. A portion of meat such as fish
\n3. Oneself. To put oneself to work. To know the limits of oneself.<\/p>\n

\u25c6 The meaning of \u201ccontents\u201d \u4e2d\u8eab
\n1. What is inside. What has been put inside. \u201c\u2026of a bag\u201d.
\n2. The contents\/substance of something. \u201ca story with weak contents\u201d.
\n3. Part of the blade of a sword. Sword blade.<\/p>\n

Now I think I will explain the relationship between \u201ccontents\u201d and ceramics.<\/p>\n

\u25c6What is pottery?
\nPottery involves creating a hole.
\nIt is said that pottery began in primitive times, when containers were needed to put things such as food inside.
\nIn other words, these things were made because a hole was required. Therefore they are forms with both an exterior shape and an interior cavity.<\/p>\n

So, I have to continue talking about \u201ccontents\u201d, but what do Japanese people think when asked for an example of something with \u201cnothing on the inside\u201d?<\/p>\n

\u25c6Things that Japanese people think have \u201cnothing on the inside\u201d
\n\u30fbWhen people are all talk and no action \u2013 a quality of humans
\n\u30fbSomething with no concrete properties \u2013 a quality of everything
\n\u30fbA lack of personality \u2013 a quality of humans
\n\u30fbA lack of knowledge \u2013 a quality of humans
\n\u30fbA lack of reason \u2013 a quality of everything
\n\u30fbAdding something as an afterthought \u2013 a quality of everything<\/p>\n

I understood that people mainly think about \u201chuman characteristics and contents of things\u201d when regarding things with nothing on the inside.
\nThis led me to think that the notion was close to the concept of \u201ctruth\u201d in philosophy.
\nI would like to define \u201ctruth\u201d here as \u201csomething that remains constant and that humans are constantly pursuing\u201d.<\/p>\n

I have tried to express this concept of contents through a ceramics work with nothing on the inside.
\nThe taiyaki I have made have no contents.
\nThe part where red bean paste is normally stuffed inside is hollow.
\nTherefore, connecting it to my previous explanation of pottery, it is a form with an interior cavity.<\/p>\n

So, what are the contents of these taiyaki?
\nI made these taiyaki so that the cavities can be used as \u201changing vases\u201d.
\nTherefore, the \u201ccontents\u201d of the body of these taiyaki will be made by the customer placing flowers inside.
\nThe contents of the taiyaki will be dependent on the customer, and each and every individual personality of the customers will appear.
\nI am certain that beautiful \u201ccontents\u201d will bloom in the customers\u2019 taiyaki.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
