Fujiwara Kikuyo(b.1963) is the second daughter of the late great Fujiwara Ken(1924-1977). After losing her father at such an early age life was very hard for the entire family. Wanting to be a potter though, she took off for Tokyo--after a short stint at the Bizen Ceramic Center--where she studied with Tsuji Seimei(1927-2008) and Kyo. She was determined to study the essence of ceramics--as purely understood by her father and good friends the Tsujis--and fire her father's large kiln. The fire ...click for details

Kanzaki Shiho(b.1942) is a living legend for Shigaraki-Iga and he's known around the world with works in major museums. He's been featured on the covers of many ceramic magazines(Ceramic Art and Perception #32, Ceramics Monthly Summer'97, among others) as well as having a recent documentary made about his life. What is unique about Kanzaki is his firings and the results he gets from a long firing of his anagama; his Buddhist nature also plays a deep part in his works. This Iga eared ...click for details

'First Raku, Second Hagi, Third Karatsu' is the age-old ranking in Japan for chawan. Although many potters make chawan in these famous styles, a chawan is something more than just form, it's also spirit made visible combined with a disciplined technique. As Abe Anjin once told me as we gazed upon a Bizen chawan, "It has the appearance of a chawan, yet it's not a true chawan." For Hagi Hatano Zenzo makes the real deal. Hatano Zenzo (b.1942) was named a Yamaguchi Prefectu ...click for details

Robert Okazaki(b.1942 in California) is a Karatsu potter who married into the famous Nakazato family. He first studied in Bizen with LNT Fujiwara Kei starting in 1971 and stayed for four years. I found an old Bizen book that shows Kei instructed Yu and Yoshimoto Tadashi, Okazaki and Okada Teru on the art of firing the kiln; the other potter in the photo I am not sure of; photo attached in the listing. Okazaki had his debut exhibition in 1974 at Tenmaya in Okayama and then did a four year study w ...click for details
