This is a work by Ms. Fujita of Fujita Workshop.She mixes clay from around her house to make her ceramics.She says that she makes her pottery without forgetting to "create with sincerity". Fujita's personality can be seen in the way she chooses raw materials and makes glazes.

Until then, the mainstream of crafts had been the works of art by artists, but in 1926, Muneyoshi Yanagi, Kanjiro Kawai, Shoji Hamada, and others advocated that beauty lies in the daily necessities of the common people.

The characteristic of Mr. Wakabayashi's pottery is that it is not only easy to use but also comfortable to hold and use. It is one of my favorites, which makes my heart warm when I have it by my side ☺️🧡

After learning overglaze painting of bold patterns in Okinawa, Hirota moved to Kagoshima in 1978. When he saw at first glance the delicate work of Satsuma ware, he felt that this was something that absolutely had to be preserved for future generations, and he began his career.
