His father is a Tokoname-yaki Nitten potter, and his uncle is the 3rd generation Tokoname-yaki Living National Treasure Yamada Jozan, so he is a thoroughbred in the world of pottery. He looked up to Kato Tokuro, the founder of modern Mino pottery, as his teacher and stuck to his teachings until the end, continuing to create pottery using Echizen soil in Echizen, Fukui Prefecture. This is a wonderful piece that highlights the playful shape created by his unique sensibility, further enhanced by the generous application of Shino glaze. You can fully feel the charm of Yamada Kazu, who develops innovative and humorous works based on solid knowledge and technique. Both the shape and the glaze are outstanding.
