Kotaro Kameda is a ceramic artist who studied at a ceramics research institute. He produces vessels using slip-coating (kohiki) and ash glazes, cherishing the warm, expressive quality that comes from wood-firing. While his work centers on everyday pieces such as rice bowls and shallow dishes, he also explores more distinctive directions, including hand-crafted planters. He continues to develop his own artistic voice through exchanges with fellow artists and visits to exhibitions.
