SHODO
Born in Shigaraki-cho, Koka City. A graduate of Kyoto University of Arts and Kyoto Ceramics Technical College. Around 2004, he joined Hand Craft YASUO, run by his father, Yasumasa, and began making pottery in earnest. In 2023, he teamed up with G.O.A.T to develop clay pots for tuberous plants in particular.
He values an unconventional perspective and is particular about creating unusual pottery that actively uses glazes. SHODO continues to research and refine pottery that matches the changing times as a way to pass on traditional crafts to the next generation.
