The hands behind crafts.

  • RYOSUKE MORI

    RYOSUKE MORI

    Location

    Shiga

    History

    2023 Held a solo exhibition at Shigaraki Bunka Hall
    2021 Selected for the Japan Glass Art Crafts Association Award
    2019 Participated in the Toyama Glass Studio Residence Program
    2016 Established an independent glass studio near Lake Biwa
    2012 Studied under a master glass artist on Murano Island, Italy

    Style

    Mori creates blown glass pieces, blending techniques cultivated in Italy with a Japanese sensibility. His tea utensils and small vessels softly catch the light, enhancing their beauty without being overly assertive. Bubbles, undulations, and subtle differences in expression are not flaws, but rather the unique character imbued in each piece by the creator.

  • Nishida Aiko

    Nishida Aiko

    Location

    Saga

    History

    2022 Participated in a group exhibition at the Arita Ceramic Fair
    2020 Received the Saga Prefectural Craft Award
    2018 Exhibited at the "Women in Japanese Ceramics" exhibition in Tokyo
    2014 Became independent in Arita and established a porcelain studio
    2008 Studied ceramics at Kyushu Sangyo University
    2002 Presented first work at a student exhibition

    Style

    Nishida uses high-quality Arita porcelain, and with brushwork inspired by ink painting, she hand-paints each piece with gosun (underglaze blue) and iron-oxide pigments.
    Her ceramics possess a quiet, poetic aesthetic. Instead of fully depicting landscapes, she evokes them within the empty spaces, thereby completing a scene in harmony with the food.

  • Kenji Tanaka

    Kenji Tanaka

    Location

    Kyoto

    History

    2019: Solo exhibition at Kyoto Prefectural Museum of Art
    2017: Selected for Mashiko Pottery Fair Competition
    2015: Participated as a featured artist in Tokyo Craft Week
    2013: Established independent studio in Kyoto
    2005: Completed apprenticeship under ceramic artist Hiroshi Ito
    1998: Began ceramic art activities

    Style

    Tanaka's works, primarily iron-glazed stoneware since 1998, possess a quiet strength.
    His matcha bowls and vessels celebrate the beauty of natural asymmetry and the unique expressions created by the kiln.
    Because each piece is wood-fired individually, no two works share the exact same expression.
