about yoshida pottery
What I can do because I am a pottery professional
For about 13 and a half years since 2006, I have been engaged in Uji tea pottery asahi.
Asahi Yaki is taught by Daimyo teaman Kobori Enshu, counted as one of the Enshu seven kilns, and has a 400-year history in Uji, a famous tea production area, responding to the voices of tea people and tea makers Has been repeated.
The time when successive potters have accumulated, the weight to press the same “Asahi” mark.
Through encounters with many people both in Japan and overseas, I learned how wonderful it is to convey handmade craftsmanship.
Through ceramics, we want to support everything from creating spaces to a family dining table.
