About the Potter:

Yasushi Yamachika is a renowned artisan and a Regular Member of the Japan Crafts Association, as well as a Member of the Japan Ceramic Arts Association. Native to a long-standing Kutani ware pottery lineage, Yamachika's upbringing immersed him in the world of Kutani ceramics from an early age. Surrounded by the traditional five colors of Kutani ware—green, purple, yellow, navy blue, and red—he developed a profound appreciation for the beauty of color and the boundless realm of artistic expression that these colors offered.

Yamachika is a true artisan who meticulously oversees every aspect of his creations, from sculpting to the final brushstroke. His vessels come to life with vibrant, rhythmic line drawings and a distinctive blend of colors, breathing vitality into the animals depicted on them.

While deeply respecting the rich heritage of Kutani ware, Yamachika remains committed to exploring innovative and novel forms of artistic expression within the tradition.
