KAZUHIKO HOZUMI

A top of cup is tender pale white, the colour is changing to beautiful light blue as it goes down.
This is the celadon.
The artist meticulously prepares some glaze in order to express a sophisticated unique colour.
At first glance, this color is simple, but its gradation is sensitive. It makes us to imagine the earth illuminated by the sun when the beauty of light and shadow appers in it.

KAZUHIKO HOZUMI
Hozumi met Sawamura Tosai Ⅲ in Kyoto when he was seventeen and opened the door of being a potter. He had learned the high technique of the potter's wheel on the basis of Kyoyaki craftsmanship and tradition for the first 5 years.
It is required the highest quality craftsmanship to create noble shape with changing thickness partially. He focusts all his tention on shaping pottery on a potter’s wheel, thus it is no need to retouch after it. It is possible for only an experienced and educated craftsman to do it.

Nowaday he has over 20 years of experience as a potter and wishes that they cultivate sensitivity through daily using his pieces.
