mino pottery
Born to a family that owned a kiln for old blue and white Mino ware porcelain for generation after generation. While Mino nurtured tea bowl styles like Shino and Oribe since the Momoyama Period, it also produced old blue and white porcelain, which has a favorable texture through the use of gosu stones and local materials and is simultaneously simple, beautiful, and bold. After being attracted by this appeal, started making ceramics by bringing traditional techniques into the modern day. Graduated from Musashino Art University. Selected for and won awards at the Japan Traditional Craft Exhibition, Tokai Traditional Craft Exhibition, Asahi Ceramic Exhibition, Chunichi International Exhibition, Japan Ceramic Exhibition, and other exhibitions. Instructor at Tajimi Ceramic Research Institute. Member of the Mino Ceramic Society. Official Member of the Japan Craft Society. Held private exhibitions at the Mitsukoshi in Nihombashi, the Mitsukoshi in Nagoya, the Matsuzakaya, the Meitetsu, the Seibu in Ikebukuro, and other venues. In addition to old blue and white porcelain, made celadon and cinnabar.
