Originally from Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture. He graduated from the Arita Ceramics College in 2003 and studied under Kiyomi Kawakami. In 2008, he established his own kiln, the Kentaro-gama, on the slopes of Mt. Kagami and became independent. He personally gathers clay, stone, and iron ore from the mountains of Hizen to make his clay bodies and glazes entirely from scratch. Rooted in the traditional techniques of Old Karatsu ware, he pursues a beauty of function—simple, unpretentious vessels that blend seamlessly into everyday life.
