Wadanobu Hira became friends with Kenkichi Tomimoto while studying at Kyoto City University of Arts. He then built a kiln in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture, and began his creative endeavors. His highly original works have been praised both at home and abroad, and Wadanobu Hira led the Japanese ceramics world. He easily surpasses the praise of being "the successor to Kamoda Shoji," and no matter how you look at it, his pottery is "Wadanobu Hira." His works seem to be decorated with patterns that naturally welled up from within him at the time, and therefore, just like the artist himself, his style is inevitably not limited to one place but is always evolving into something new, transcending the boundaries of "Japanese contemporary ceramics" and earning him worldwide acclaim.
