Koyama Fujio (1900-1975)
Committee chairman of the Japan Society of Oriental Ceramic Studies and board chairman of the Japan Kogei Association. After leaving university mid term, he devoted himself to the study of ceramics at Seto and Kyoto, and established himself as a potter in 1925.
However, in 1930 he became an Oriental Ceramics Research Institute employee, suspending his pottery work to devote himself to ceramics and porcelain research. In 1941 he served at the Tokyo Imperial Household Museum, joining in with the work of selecting Designated Cultural Properties. After retiring from the museum in 1961, he started to make pottery again from 1964, and opened a kiln in Toki city, Tochigi prefecture in 1972, producing various works based on existing research into ancient ceramics, such as Karatsu, Bizen, Aoji, and Akae wares.
He left behind numerous achievements in modern ceramics research, both as board chairman of the Japan Kogei Association established due to the success of his name, and while working as a committee member for the Japan Society of Oriental Ceramic Studies and so on.
