1952-
male
hagi pottery
From Hagi, Yamaguchi. Started researching the potter’s wheel, clay, and glazes through self-education in 1987. Started the Kosaian kiln in 1990. Exhibited at every Hagi Ware Festival Exhibition after first exhibiting during the 3rd Exhibition in 1990. Continues to produce works with a focus on other private exhibitions at galleries.
Started researching Ao Hagi glazes around 1992 and created a highly creative work style with shining blue colors added to the world of traditional Hagi ware. Completed Seigan Blue in 2002 as a culmination of his works to that point.
Hagi ware
Hagi ware emerged over 400 years ago. It is a type of Japanese pottery very identifiable for its mixed clay made with three type soils (Daido soil, Mitake soil and Mishima soil) and the use of a feldspar glaze. It originated after the Imjin War (1592-1597) with the ‘Lee Brothers’ potters from Korea. A feature of the clay is that it is comparatively soft and absorbent. Hagi tea bowls are perfect for green tea. The more often you use them, the greater their charm, as the surface develops a patina from properties in the tea penetrating the inside of the bowl over time.
