About the Artist


 

"SEKIRYU II" (石龍)

Kamimura Hiroyuki (上村 洋幸), the 2nd generation "sekiryû 石龍"

 

Master Hiroyuki Kamimura was born in Tokoname in 1967 and started at his early age to turn ceramics on the potter's wheel. He began training as a craftsman at Sekiryû kiln (石 龍 窯) from 1983. He has won many national pottery prizes and his works are admired by many people. He is well-known for creating unique tea ware while strictly adhering to traditional techniques.

 

"SOUZAN" (早山)

 

An engraver Yamamoto Sanae who goes by the name of "SOUZAN," was born into the family of the famous Shunen kiln (舜 園 窯) in Tokoname. Her younger brother is now the second generation of the Shunen family.

 

Under her father, Shunen the First, she was already playing around with the potter's wheel and carving at a very young age, and naturally inherited his top-notch skills to become a great carver in Tokoname. She used to engrave on Shunen's teapots, but now she is the exclusive engraver for Sekiryû.
