About the artist
Living beings strive to grow and develop in response to their environment, which is the mystery of life. In contrast, non-living things remain unchanged unless an external force is applied. The effort to infuse life into these creations, using the finest techniques and imbuing them with spirit, is what makes craftsmanship so fascinating. The works of this kiln are made from top-grade clay, meticulously selected and refined from Amakusa, Kumamoto Prefecture. Using techniques passed down from Hizen Arita, the clay is shaped on a potter’s wheel and then fired. We hope you will cherish these works for a long time.
