When I was a young boy, I became interest in pottery because my family made roof tiles for traditional Japanese homes. Then in my teen I went to an Arts University, and later I worked as graphic artist and photographer.

After learning to capture nature on film, I turned to pottery. I began to look at Shino-glazed wares made by Rosanjin ( Japan, 20 th century ), who was inspired by the freely brushed, reddish Shino-glazed word called « fire colour » created by the anonymous Japanese potter's of the Momoyama period (16th century). I am now working to find the Momoyama potter's spirit and soul in the elements of the universe.
